The Prove it! Math Academy residential summer program will not be offered in 2024. Big changes are in the works to provide our unique curriculum and high-quality resources to a wider audience of math enthusiasts. Check this site for updates and announcements.

Dates and Travel

Our biennial summer program is held in even numbered years. In 2020 the program will be held from June 22, 2020 thru July 5, 2020 inclusive. Students must attend the full two weeks of the program.

Program Arrival Date June 22, 2020
Departure Date July 5, 2020

The program provides free shuttle service between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Colorado State University on both arrival and departure day, but participants are responsible for their own airfare and flight arrangements to and from the airport. Participants who are driving to the program should plan on arriving at the Piñon Hall lobby of Colorado State University on arrival day afternoon between 3 PM and 5 PM.  Finally, students should plan on departing to travel home after breakfast, with flight departure times no earlier than 9 AM, on departure day.
