This article is based on a podcast episode featuring Aengus O’Conner, the founder and director of Connemara Maths Academy. If you prefer to listen to the podcast, you can find the player at the bottom of the page.

A Summer in Connemara

Aengus O’Conner noticed that kids were having the same issues in maths in classrooms all over the world. He found that using hands-on approaches and creative technology (drones and gopro cameras) to teach math helped kids understand the concepts better. The CMA was created to fulfill this need. CMA values it’s small student to instructor ratio, with a maximum of 10-15 students per class. Any level of math is welcome to come. It is about enhancing their understanding and learning. The CMA tries to cater to each kid’s problem areas in math.

The camps are fun and offer activities in coding, logic, robotics and more.
