More Undergraduate and Graduate Student Opportunities
____________________________________
The Department of Mathematical Sciences hosts approximately 100 to 150 fourth grade students from Palm Beach or Broward counties. Our Thirteenth Annual Mini-Math Day was originally scheduled for May 2020 for Crystal Lake Elementary's 4th Grade but was canceled due to Covid-19. We were able to host the same students from Crystal Lakes's 5th Grade in June 2021 with our virtual edition. We hope to welcome our next group in Spring 2024!
The program begins with a welcome and a short quiz followed by Dr. Tomas Schonbek's team contest. After lunch, students were previously treated to an educational demonstration presented by former science teacher Glen Govertsen, with demonstrations in what he called the “Mr. G Science Show,” where he combines the dynamics of music, lasers, raw eggs, fiber optics and other materials with clear explanations to motivate students in science and mathematics. Future events will include an engaging/hands-on mathematical presentation by one of our department faculty.
Educational mathematics game prizes are awarded to both individual and team competition winners.
Photos from our events will be posted on our college's Facebook Page. Search for FAU Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and LIKE our page!
