I have noticed — in my own experience and while observing VAMPY students this week — that gifted students hate to struggle. They absolutely hate it. As mathematician and a future educator, however, I aim to have students struggle.
The first Saturday of VAMPY is a big one, when our various counselor groups represent different countries and come together to compete in a variety of events at the VAMPY Olympics.
In Pop Culture, we look at American history through the lens of popular culture — culture transmitted to the masses through various forms of media, be it print, radio, film, or modern-day social media platforms.
The first week of VAMPY is coming to an end, and the counselors are so excited for all the activities we have planned for the weekend!
Humans have always had an instinct to try to decipher what we notice going on around us.
