CAMMP day - mathematical modeling day
|
What: |
Students experience an authentic application of mathematics, gain insight into current research fields, and model mathematically. The workshops offer an application-oriented insight into the problem-solving strategies of numerous STEM professions and courses of study. See below for a detailed description of the topics offered. |
| Who: | Middle or high school classes/courses (depending on topic selection). See the table below for information on necessary prior school mathematics knowledge. |
| When: | 4-5 hours, block event (on request also spread over several school lessons). |
| Where: | Online or at KIT. Supervision by KIT scientific staff |
| Cost: | free of charge |
| Registration: | Dates and concrete planning can be arranged individually by mail. |
Our material can also be used in schools as an online workshop with students or integrated into lessons. Our learning materials are available online on a platform for direct use in class. Contact us for further access information!
