HCSSiM Program Activities
There are lots of things we do that aren't mathematics. For example, we take a trip to Boston,
frequently attend a performance of the Hampshire Shakespeare Company, and often travel to Tanglewood to hear an orchestral concert.
Here's a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra:
Students organize lots of activities: in recent years, these have included bocce tournaments, month-long Risk or Diplomacy games, puzzle hunts, water polo games, tutorials in Settlers of Catan or D&D, cheese sampling, dance parties... everyone participates in the production of the weekly Program Journal.
Sometimes we go to faculty homes to play with puzzles. These pictures were taken at Kelly's house...
(hi, Neve!) ...and these at sarah-marie's house.
Students have a talent show:
Sometimes they construct objects from Zometool...
...or make polyhedra from string.
And what summer program would be complete without the occasional trip for ice cream?
