Summer Math+ 2023 - Dallas, TX

Instructor: Kendrick Pitts

Level: Middle School (6th-8th)

Kendrick Pitts double majored in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN in 2009. Upon graduation, he discovered a need for more young students to seek interest and careers in STEM related fields. This calling has caused Mr. Pitts to rewrite curriculum for various schools, oversee the STEM program, TEXPREP, for 3 years, and teach high school math for over 10 years throughout his career. He drives students to challenge themselves and perform at his or her personal best. He finds a way to make Math everyone's favorite subject. He is currently at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas where he continues to transfer his passion and interest in mathematics to his students.

This Summer, the Math+ course will focus on Number Theory – the study of integers (e.g., -1, 2, 3). Over the six classes, we will explore different aspects of this critical concept and will learn what Number Theory is and how it relates to computer applications and important topics including cryptography.

NOTE: The course will be offered in person at Jesuit College Prep School. Further details such as safety protocols will be communicated to registrants.
