This event is an opportunity for female high school students and their families to engage with interesting mathematical ideas and to learn more about careers that incorporate mathematics. If you know of a female high school student who may be interested in this opportunity, we ask that you pass along this information. There is no cost to participate in the event and lunch will be provided.
We are pleased to offer a variety of activities throughout the day. Arrivals and check-in will begin at 9am and the festivities will begin at 9:30AM. The day will consist of a keynote address by Daina Taimina, a career panel of women who use mathematics in their work, a series of fun hands-on activities, and time to socialize with other students interested in mathematics. Accompanying adults are welcome and encouraged to participate in all activities.
