From Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)'s posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) creates pathways for students from low-income, low-access backgrounds to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists.
We provide BEAM students the same access to high-quality preparation in STEM as their more affluent peers, and we invest deeply in our students' success, with programming from middle school through college graduation focused on joyous, exciting, and rigorous mathematics, building vibrant communities, and supporting students in key life transitions such as college admissions and financial aid.
BEAM has grown from a small summer program serving 17 students in the summer of 2011 to a year-round, national program, serving 450+ students at six summer program sites and 600+ students in year-round programming in New York City and Los Angeles this school year. In addition, our BEAM National pilot program now reaches around 1000 elementary-aged students in seven different states, working to create a new nationwide pathway modeled on our local work.
We've seen our students' successes first-hand, and it's backed by data: a quasi-experimental study found that students who attended our 7th grade summer program were 1.3X as likely to declare a STEM major as a matched comparison group.
DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION
The Manager, Summer Math Enrichment leads BEAM’s local LA Program team’s efforts to fully enroll and implement BEAM’s summer math enrichment programs for 6th and 7th grade Los Angeles students. BEAM's summer math enrichment programs are unlike that of most other programs.
Focusing on problem solving (and, in particular, students learning to solve novel problems that they haven't been explicitly taught), mathematical reasoning, and how students synthesize ideas into big-picture perspectives unlocks a deeper appreciation for math and a long-term interest in STEM. BEAM Discovery, our day camp for rising 6th graders, serves 100-150 students per site and focuses on building math self-confidence and appreciation.
BEAM Summer Away, our residential camp for rising 7th graders, serves 40-50 students per site and has a greater emphasis on rigor and perseverance. Both summer programs seek to build a strong community among staff and students with a common interest in STEM.
BEAM students often describe their summer with BEAM as a life-changing experience. It is the catalyst for developing self-confidence in math, and inspiring students to pursue a career in a quant-based STEM field long term. As the Manager, you will have the opportunity to impact LA students at the very beginning of their journey with BEAM and set them on a long term path for success.
