Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication
Join this conference on computer science and mathematics education, and learn about modern and creative methods for introducing learners to algorithmic thinking.
Kids of all ages, modern citizens, nowadays need to appreciate algorithms and computational thinking. Join scientists, researchers, teachers and artists in developing new ways of communicating computational thinking, including computing activities across the curriculum, at every level. CMSC welcomes contributions in forms such as story, dance, art, theatre, … many ways to communicate science to the public.
CMSC aims to create activities to teach kids without computers, following the Computer Science Unplugged philosophy (www.csunplugged.org). The design and analysis of algorithms, modeling, clever information representation, all have the potential to unlock a great amount of creativity. Bring your ideas, your experimental attempts. The atmosphere is casual with a focus on brainstorming.
CMSC aims to encourage researchers to provide open problems from their area that are accessible to authentic engagement by kids, and to explore ways of mentoring their work. Let’s attract children to open problems, to dare reach for gold. We also seek new ways to show the open, unsolved problems that researchers are pursuing.
We celebrate when outreach results in greater progress in science. Outreach can be a two-way street. Let us know the benefits to your scientific research or teaching.
