It is safe, clean, green and beautiful, and abounds in cultural and recreational opportunities. Michigan Math and Science Scholars summer programs offers participants many chances to enjoy Ann Arbor s bounty, including the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and Summer Art Fair. Ann Arbor is a city that is truly accessible by foot, with the University, State Street and Main Street areas being within a ten-minute walk. Bus transportation is readily accessible from the University to outlying areas of Ann Arbor, as well as Ypsilanti, Chelsea, Dexter and Saline. The day starts early for M2S2 participants.
Breakfast is served and students take a short walk to their classrooms.
After a one-hour lunch break, classes meet with specialist graduate student instructors for laboratory research, field trips, computer projects and problem solving in the afternoons. Activities include softball, basketball, and swimming, plus cultural events and live entertainment. Some students prefer to work on their math and science projects or get in more computer time during the evenings and that s just fine. On weekends, studying is again an option, but most of the students prefer to spend this time unwinding with the activities listed above. On each of the overnight Saturdays an optional trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio is planned.
