Crazy 8's Math Club MentorsMULTIPLE SESSIONS, 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
What is Crazy 8's? It's not your usual math club. Crazy 8's is a recreational after-school math club that helps kids enjoy the math behind their favorite activities! With Crazy 8's kids will build glow-in-the-dark structures, crack secret spy codes and play games like Toilet Paper Olympics.Mentors will gain insight around organization and structure in facilitating activities and gain valuable experience working with students in an interactive hands-on learning environment.
Events are happening at GIZMO and local schools. If interested in this opportunity please register and you will receive details for specific locations and times. |
Problem Solving and Prototyping: The City X ProjectONE SESSION, SEE DATES & TIMES BELOWParticipants will be introduced to the City X Project and strategies for problem solving and computational thinking. Throughout the activity students are prompted to keep track of iterations, generalize patterns, and keep track of efficiency and effectiveness all while considering limitations and constraints in effort to answer the question; how can I make something better? Experience in computational thinking will mean prepared students; prepared for our ‘new’ world, college and career ready.
Computing is an important practice in today’s tech-dependent world and students need a strong and developmental foundation to explore the nature of problem solving and increase understanding of the world and society; connecting to all disciplines. - CLICK ON DATE TO REGISTER - |

Using Coding to Support Geometric Habits of MindONE SESSION, SEE DATES & TIMES BELOW
Teaching coding does not mean giving up math content but connecting to it instead. Workshop will explore how in addition to computational thinking and organization skills, lessons simultaneously enrich understanding of geometric concepts and spatial reasoning. Additional connections support the 8 Math Practices. In this workshop coding is more than ‘making,’ it provides an avenue to for exploration and connection. Topics include 2D vs 3D geometry, the Cartesian coordinate system, Transformation functions as well as Union, Intersection, and more!
