Curriculum Modules
Seven days, seven arcs
Day 1 — Setup Day
Students begin by setting up the program’s digital infrastructure and learning how to maintain it for future cohorts. This day builds both technical readiness and a mindset of stewardship — understanding that sustainability starts with care, creativity, and community.
Day 2 — Relay Game
A high-energy day where students compete in an Applied Mathematics Relay designed by our team. Working entirely offline, teams solve real-world problems that blend logic, arithmetic, and collaboration. Snacks, laughter, and a healthy sense of competition keep the energy alive throughout the day.
Day 3 — Into the Unkown
Students dive deeper into computational thinking — exploring loops, algorithms, and mathematical modeling. They apply these concepts to relatable contexts such as personal budgeting, academic data tracking, or household planning, transforming abstract ideas into tangible problem-solving skills.
Day 4 — The Unkown Applied
Students continue to consolidate their skills while working closely with problems regarding community sustainability and finance.
Day 5 — Expansion and inspiration
Students embark on open-ended personal projects that reflect their interests and local realities. Whether simulating weather systems, designing savings apps, or visualizing school data, each project encourages independent thinking, creativity, and applied empathy.
Day 6 — Vision workshop
We hosted a full-day Career and Vision Workshop at Binh Phu Secondary School, guiding students to map their long-term goals and explore how technology and mathematics can shape their future studies and careers. It’s a day about direction — connecting today’s learning to tomorrow’s opportunities.
Day 7 — Community visit
Our founder, Harry Tran, stayed an extra day to collaborate with local educators, collecting data and feedback to refine future iterations of the program. Together, we built a roadmap for Numbers to Networks 2026 - ensuring that every insight fuels a stronger, more inclusive next chapter.
