I'm a Mathematician, Get me out of here!
I'm a Mathematician, Get me out of here! is an online student-led STEM enrichment activity where students connect with people using maths at the centre of their work.
Funded by the Royal Institution, The CHRISTMAS LECTURES Zone (6th – 31st January 2020) will focus on the themes of this year's Lectures, including statistics, probability, big data, algorithms and machine learning.
For teachers:
Your class will go online to ask their questions to a range of mathematicians, technologists, engineers, scientists and more.
You'll need two lessons to run the activity with your class, and can book a live chat at a time that suits your class this January.
Register by 6/12/19 at secrets.imamathematician.uk/teacher-registration.
For families:
Create an account at secrets.imamathematician.uk and start asking questions when the zone goes live in January.
