081617 Garcia Center Math Camp

Not all kids see a personal connection with math, but a team of educators from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) worked with the Math Camp at the Antonio E. Garcia Arts and Education Center to change that. For two weeks during August, 25 sixth-grade students participated in Math Camp at the Garcia Center, gaining mathematical literacy and learning that math can be fun. The program was offered for free to students struggling in math. Participants were each provided daily meals and a free backpack of school supplies.
