Maths Camp for regional students
From 2018 to 2020 MAV has been funded by the Department of Education and Training, through the Strategic Partnerships Program, to host the Mathematics Camp. The camp is aimed at current Year 10 students who live in regional Victoria and who are deemed to have high potential in the area of mathematics.
The aim of the program is to provide a chance for students to gather with like-minded peers and explore hands-on, industry related problems. The MAV will be partnering with four mathematical industries who will provide mentoring, site visits, and the opportunity for students to solve a contemporary real-life problem.
