Sonia Kovalevsky Day

This project aims to expose middle school and high school women and non-binary students to opportunities available in math and science by creating fun and exciting experiences through workshops, problem-solving activities, plenary talks, and a friendly math competition. A panel of mathematicians also gives participants the opportunity to learn about a variety of careers in the mathematical sciences. The teachers and sponsors are invited to attend our day of activities and participate in teacher workshops. We aim to create a network between the women and non-binary students and teacher/sponsor participants, the UW-Eau Claire Mathematics department, and our guest speakers. We hope to ignite a passion for Math and Science within our participants and to develop lasting relationships that will aid students in their transitions from high school to college.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Dr. Allison Beemer at beemera@uwec.edu.
