Curriculum
Mathematics - Counting
General Information:
Dr. Yao: Counting is a topic that is tested in every AMC competition (AMC 8, AMC 10 and AMC 12). It may be easy to understand and memorize the counting rules and formulas, but to apply them in different scenarios could be quite challenging. This short course aims to enhance students’ capacity in analysing and solving the counting problems with the proper tools. The difficulty level of problems is roughly equivalent to problem 15~25 of AMC8 and problem 10~20 of AMC 10. |

Mathematics - Probability
General Information:
Mr. Zhu: Probability is one of the most difficult topics in every AMC competition (AMC 8, AMC 10 and AMC 12). It is extremely easy to get confused about the outcomes and the events to occur. Probability is also related to other topics in mathematics like counting, enumeration, and permutation so it requires a solid base. Students will learn how to build appropriate models and correct algorithms to solve probability problems in this short course. The difficulty level of problems is roughly equivalent to problem 15~25 of AMC10 and problem 5~10 of AIME. |

Debate
Hemanth Asirvatham will lead the Introduction to Debate course. Throughout the program, Hemanth will help students learn and master the foundational elements of debate. From research to analysis to advanced techniques in persuasive writing and speaking, participants will gain skills useful far beyond the realm of debate.
Debate is something best learned by doing; it can't just be taught by lecture. Students will spend much of their time actively participating and bouncing ideas off one another in small groups. After learning a new technique, students will work with the instructor, TAs, and peers to master it themselves. Participants will also practice with fun topics of their own creation. Over the camp, students will collaborate and build their very own debate case, which they will argue on the final day. From piercing cross-examinations to showstopping conclusions, debate can be an extremely enjoyable and rewarding learning experience. Hemanth and the TAs are always willing to talk 1-on-1, answer questions, and give detailed feedback before, during, and after the camp so students get the best possible experience out of it. No class limit. |

Business for Youth
Dr. Jingwei Meng will lead the “Business for Youth Part I” course. This course is designed for students in middle schools and high schools and the content is based on the curriculum of MBA for Youth* (M4Y) program with focus on a marketing certificate. Five modules are included in this winter camp: B001 (Business Concepts), M001 (Advertisement & Presentation Skills), M002 (Products & Consumers, M003 (Marketing Tools), and N001 (Negotiation). The overall goals are to help students learn fundamental business concepts, improve their capabilities of personal communication, collaborate with other team members, create their own companies, promote their own products, and master their skills of a set of marketing tools. Students will be divided into 7-person teams to form their own companies. Class limit 28.
* Supported by Melody Culture Foundation - a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization ** Completion of three core modules and two marketing modules |
Completion of Business for Youth program will earn the students with following achievements and milestones:
