Several 10th graders from 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 are applying to the Mass Academy of Math and Science 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗣𝗜 this year, which inspired us to organize an informational session for our gifted students who may consider applying in the future. We invited former MathAltitude students who have attended or are currently attending the academy to speak with a group of parents and students at MathAltitude.... 

Dear parents! Are your children interested in computers and programming? Would they like to learn how to create their own mobile phone applications?

If so, we are happy to invite you and your children to our free online workshop and info session "Applications & Algorithms: Real Apps, Real Coding"!

We are going to tell you (and not only to tell, but to show!) about unique programming courses that has been very popular with students in Seattle and are now being offered on the East Coast for the first time!

You will meet with our CS instructor Mr. Ed Suyer and with Mrs. Anna Burago, the head of CS program of Prime Factor, the Seattle school that developed the course, which we offer at MathAltitude this fall. In this workshop, we will create our first mobile app,... 

Spectacular trip to the WPI Robotics Lab on Sunday! BiQu team members, Akshay Jaitly and Ethan Chandler greeted MathAltitude students and treated them to a bird’s eye view of the amazing world of robotics.

A robot being programmed for underwater expedition, robots with arms, soft robots, delivery bots, 3-D laser printers, and a robotic arm from the rocketry department were some of the projects that students explored, but Goddard the robotic dog was the students’ favorite, and they all took turns at the controls.

To say the MathAltitude students were enthused and inspired is an understatement! They peppered the WPI team with excellent questions and were left with a lasting impression of the possibilities open to them when they grow up! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Akshay and Ethan for generously sharing their passion and wholeheartedly captivating our students' interest.

We hope this tour ignited a passion that will shape their lives for years to come.

The WPI High Powered Rocketry Club brought their rocket research to our families at MathAltitude last Saturday evening.

Our April vacation week at MathAltitude began with a tour of the WPI Rocketry Labs and ended with a tour this weekend of the Robotics Labs. A group of aspiring robotics engineers at WPI kept our enthusiastic group of budding robotics engineers thoroughly engaged! Our students were introduced to a real-life Baymax in the making; got to experience an omnidirectional VR treadmill that would allow a robot to walk more like a human, and learned about efforts to assist doctors and nurses in the Human-Inspired Robotics (HiRo) Lab. 

Principal Olga Serebrennikov was invited to sit on the Math Schools Panel Discussion at the UpGrade Conference. The panel addressed the following topics:

- Why is math important?
- Strategies for teaching math.
- Differences between Russian, Singapore, American math programs.

- How to motivate a child to study math?

The Massachusetts Academy of Mathematics and Science is pleased to acknowledge the important contribution that has been made to the education of its students by teachers who have taught them in prior schools and classrooms. Juniors are asked to identify teachers who have played a significant role in their education.  MathAltitude lead teacher, Nathan Senecal, was honored at a special luncheon at the Mass Academy of Math and Science.  
  

to long-time teachers, Nathan Senecal and Liubov Smirnov, who were honored at our End of Year Award Celebration.

Our WPI Night of Engineering was an enormous success! It was a spectacular and exciting evening of engineering demos, video presentations, plus an informative and helpful financial session and materials for parents and students. Our audience was very impressed with the presentation by the IEEE Student Section members from WPI.

Professor Rose engaged students in some "math fun".  He challenged students and parents to think about what they hear and read, and to use what they know about math to analyze what they see.
