SMASH Experience
SMASH is a program for rising eighth-grade girls designed to build confidence in science and math. The curriculum focuses on improving the two attitudinal values, perceived usefulness of mathematic and mathematical self-efficacy, impacting math-related achievement. Girls about to enter the eighth grade can join us at RIT for five days of cool science fun with math.
