SMASH is a special program for rising 8th grade students, designed to build confidence in science and math. SMASH is open to all 8th grade students, regardless of gender.
The curriculum focuses on improving the two attitudinal values, perceived usefulness of mathematic and mathematical self-efficacy, impacting math-related achievement. Students about to enter the 8th grade can join us at RIT for five days of cool science fun with math.
