Girls Talk Math is a free math and media day camp for high school girls and non-binary students hosted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (since 2016), the University of Maryland, College Park (since 2018) and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (since 2022).  Campers complete challenging problem sets in areas of mathematics that go beyond the high school curriculum, research the lives of mathematicians and scientists from marginalized groups, and share what they learned through blog posts and podcasts.
