July 24, 2014 - Young women from all over Rhode Island gathered at ICERM last week for a summer camp completely devoid of cabins, canoes, and campfires. This camp was all about the math. The weeklong retreat, called GirlsGetMath@ICERM, drew 31 young women entering 10th and 11th grades to the institute. The idea behind the annual program, which was offered for the first time this year, is to nurture an interest in math among young women and keep them on track for math-heavy careers in which women tend to be underrepresented.
