#NCSSM
We have a table at SciREN sciren.org/networking-e..., a networking event where scientists share lesson plans with teachers. We’ve met scientists, our friends at @ncssm-durham.bsky.social, and many teachers. #mathisfun and fundamental to science! #mtbos

Overseeing any kind of high school academic competition club in North Carolina also means that you're ALWAYS recruiting because so many stand-out sophomores end up going to NCSSM for their last two years.

UNC Pembroke and NCSSM launched a STEM residential program for 50 rising ninth-graders, offering hands-on courses, college experiences and career exploration. The partnership expands access to STEM opportunities for students in southeastern North Carolina. #NCed

Oh wow I did not know that

My friend’s daughter just got into NCSSM (as a boarder), they are so excited

She and Christina Koch are in constant battle for coolest graduate of NCSSM. A pride of both Durham and the unicorn community.

This morning in #mathisfun camp at @ncssm-durham.bsky.social we explored classic proof on infinitude of primes by Euler, population dynamics and #Pingala / #Fibonacci Numbers, divisibility rules, and more. Group work, #lockers/Lightbulbs problem and Prime Climb #mathGame upcoming. #mtbos #iteachmath

We had a #mathisfun in @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM 5th/6th grade camp. We looked at what my 1st grade Stanford #mathCircle students found (discrete case Taylor Series!) in fwd diffs of square, cube, etc. numbers, perfect rulers, fracs to decimals, ‘Finding X’ film,, etal #mtbos #iteachmath

It’s the start of my fifth of 5 #mathisfun weeks of camp at @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM - I’ll miss these great camps/kids! With 5th/6th graders this morning we covered Spaghetti/Pizza/Watermelon Nums, graphs, finding formula edges in Ki, #TravelingSalespersonProblem etal #mtbos #iteachmath
July 20, 2026 at 4:22 PM
We had a lot of #mathisfun in @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM math camp for 5th/6th graders incl estimating roots; divisibility rules for 7, 11, 13, and more; #Pingala / #Fibonacci Numbers and modeling rabbit populations; the Lockers/Lightbulbs Problem; playing Prime Climb; etal #mtbos #iteachmath

We had a #mathisfun 1st day of 5th/6th grade camp at @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM. After warming up w/ cutting numbers, we explored Euclid's proof of infinitude of primes, graphs, intractability, #travelingSalespersonProblem, fwd differences, taxonomy of numbers, Set game,etal #mtbos #iteachmath

absolutely. ncssm was a life raft for so many of us there, I can't believe attendance was free.

We did a data science activity with Chris Bolognese, collecting data on drop times of 4 different kinds of mini rotor ‘helicopters’ we made (just like in @ncssm-morganton.bsky.social data science workshop a few summers ago). #mtbos #mathisfun #iteachmath #datascience

Perhaps if we gave teens affordable places to go they wouldn’t have to do “take overs” just to have places to hang out.

The state of North Carolina used to buss my NCSSM classmates and I to malls and leave us there for hours every weekend & no one ever called that a “take over.”

NCSSM used to literally buss us to south point and leave our asses there on Friday and Saturday nights.

Cool! I'm NCSSM c/o 2014 (we called it SMath while I was there, haha). Mouse course until 2028 🤞
June 24, 2026 at 1:07 AM
Wait, you taught the mouse course and went to NCSSM?! Me too; we must meet. We are the tiniest of clubs!

What a #mathisfun morning in camp @ncssm-durham.bsky.social for 5th & 6th grdrs. We learned how easy it is to convert fractions to decimals; created a reference book w/notation, nmbr taxonomy, & frac/dec; saw youtu.be/MGp77CmhhLw?..., et al. Many exclaimed this was much more fun than school! #mtbos

I'm excited to be at week 3 of 5 weeks @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM for
#mathisfun camp. I've been working with residential 7th-9th graders & now will work
with 5th-6th graders. Today we'll look at Lazy Caterer's Problem, graph theory,
intractability, notation, & game of Set. #mtbos #iteachmath

Week 2 of 5 of #mathisfun #STEM summer camps at #NCSSM @ncssm-durham.bsky.social is over - this week went fast! Students gave presentations & we looked at #pascalsTriangle, relationship between square & triangle numbers, and more. Two weeks of 7th-9th now 3 of 5th & 6th-all fun! #mtbos #iteachmath
June 19, 2026 at 5:22 PM
We had #mathisfun in @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM at camp for 7th-9th graders incl #Pingala / #Fibonacci numbers, Phi, divisibility, partitions/Young Diags, tessellations & Einstein Hat, Prime Climb #mathGame, etal. Several found a clever way to solve large Perfect Rulers! #mtbos #iteachmath

What a fun first day of #STEMcamp at @ncssm-durham.bsky.social #NCSSM yesterday for rising 7th-9th graders! It's always exciting to meet a new group of students. We covered so much #mathisfun including graph theory, intractability, forward differences, game of Set, and more. #mtbos #iteachmath

I went to a small charter school so my band experience was wacky, I was percussion for the one band that was like 8 kids.

By the time I went to NCSSM, I did not have the base knowledge to jump to a different instrument and join the orchestra or anything
