Summer Gedanken Institute for Problem Solving (July 24 - 28, 2017)
Directed by BW physics professor Dr. Edwin F. Meyer and Meridith Witt, the Institute welcomes 12-17 year olds who find a difficult problem to be an exciting challenge rather than an unpleasant duty. Kids build problem-solving, communication and team building skills through challenging problems requiring long, careful, focused thought. They perform the necessary pre-solving process of understanding the problem, gathering information, taking inventory, discussing possible approaches and trying to gain insights to the architecture of the solution space. The focus is on consensus building, developing mental stamina, contributing as a team member, developing social capital and becoming an independent, creative problem solver. Subjects include operations research, pattern recognition, risk management, probability, geometry, topology, game strategy and logic. Contact Dr. Ed Meyer at emeyer@bw.edu or (440) 826-2495 with any questions.
