Conferences for Girls
Are you looking to inspire your girl students to continue Maths? Do you think they would benefit from a day hearing about and engaging in all things Maths, alongside other girls?
The Mathematical Institute and Department of Statistics host three day-conferences in Mathematics for girls in January each year. Please note the Year 9 and Year 10-11 days are very oversubscribed. State school attendees will be decided by a random ballot. Unfortunately we will not be able to accept independent schools this year.
