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!
