What do The Simpsons, an original Googler, a theoretical physicist, the CEO of AMD, best-selling-authors, and the Former Presidential Science Advisor all have in common?
🎬
They're all alumni of a little-known math program for teens, held in the fields of Western Massachusetts every summer for the past 52 years!
We're currently working on telling the tale of the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics, celebrating advanced mathematics in a joyful, collaborative program each summer at Hampshire College.
➗
It's known for high-level mathematical problem-solving, but it's held together by mentorships, trust, humor...and yellow pigs.
💛
The project is in its second year and not yet ready for release; we shared a teaser last year, and we're now sharing a short works-in-progress excerpt here about the teamwork and trust that makes the program unique and impactful (color correction, final music, and more on-screen graphics yet to come 🎬 ).

The founder, David Kelly, is seen here in his element with students, during his 51st year of teaching the program. 💛

"If you want to really help people change their lives, I would certainly suggest this field. I wouldn't do anything else other than this."
-Case manager for Orange Recovery House, Orange, MA
Produced for ServiceNet, this aim of this video was to highlight some of the individuals who make their network of recovery homes the welcoming places that they are.
The video is used on their website, and to help spread the word about these crucial services.

Summer!
Reflecting on our summer's shoots, on the day of our first snowstorm. So much fun this summer, on so many shoots - now we're cozied up and editing. Hope you can smell the grass and dirt after watching these!

Collaborative, joyful, exploratory and HUMOROUS math taught in a safe and welcoming environment - the Summer Studies in Mathematics at Hampshire College is a national treasure (to quote one of our alumni interviews). We're helping produce an hour-long film on this incredible high school summer experience that's created a huge alum community who are innovating society - from medicine to teaching to tech, music, and more.
The program (which is not a part of Hampshire College but is hosted there), has been going on for 52 years, building a quirky and unique alum body that argues that math is FUN and best done in groups working together.
We can still only share part of last summer's teaser, as we still wrap up the final film...but please enjoy this small, selected excerpt for now.
Hopefully, the full film will be out this summer to spread the word about this program, and it's innovative approach to the often misunderstood subject of mathematics.
