CAMMP day
*** New: CAMMP days online feasible. More info here. ***
What: Students experience an authentic application of mathematics, gain insight into current fields of research and model mathematically.
Who: Depending on the choice of topic, classes/courses of the Middle or Upper School. Information about necessary prior knowledge can be found at the respective workshop.
When: 4-5 hours, block event (on request also spread over several double hours)
Where: Online or at the KIT supervised by scientific staff
Expense contribution: free of charge
Technical requirements: Computer, Internet access, current Internet browser (e.g. Chrome) and a functioning microphone
Registration: Appointments can be arranged individually by email.
