InTech Collegiate High School
Summer Program

 

InTech Collegiate High School is running a full summer program with great options in mathematics and science at no charge.  Classes are open to current InTech students and those enrolling for 2010-2011.  Please register and join us to learn a full range of interesting topics.

General Information:

·         Instructors:  Dr. Stephanie Kawamura and  Ms. Chelsea Lawrence

·         Where:   InTech Collegiate High School

·         When:   June 1 – June 25

·         Times:  9:00 to 3:00 Monday-Friday (except Memorial Day week).

·         Registration:  Begins February 4.  Classes will continue to take registration until full.  No class will have more than 15 students (except the science research classes).  Turn registrations into Dr. Kawamura by May 21.

·         Please contact Dr. Kawamura (skawamura@intechchs.org) or Ms. Lawrence (clawrence@intechchs.org) or call 435-753-7377 if you have any questions or concerns.

Due to questions pending with the Utah Legislature, we may need to charge a fee for this year's summer program.  If funding is limited or eliminated, a summer class might cost $25 per session (except science research that will cost $35).  We will let all families know in May if there is a cost.  Please register with this possible fee in mind.

Date

Time

Math Course

Science Course

June 1 –

June 4

 

Tuesday to

Friday

9:00 – 10:50

ACT Math -- This class will help students learn how to be successful with the math section of the ACT test.  This class is specifically designed for students taking the June ACT test.

 

M1

Star Trek and Science – The real and the fun.  This class is for those people who enjoy science fiction or Star Trek or a science.  This week will focus on the science hidden in Star Trek the Next Generation (STNG – for your Trekkies or Trekkers)

 

S1

11:00 – 12:50

Probability and Stats -- This course explores our experience of chance and randomness and the role they play in natural and human systems.  We will see that amazing coincidences are nearly certain to happen to all of us and how randomness allows us to develop a feel for measuring our expectations about the uncertain future based on chance events.  We will look at lotteries, insurance, and other games of chance will a critical and more informed eye.  We will see how order and understanding might arise from disorder and randomness.
