[cmath] PIMS' Changing the Culture: September 2

[Durston, Brittney]

Changing the Culture will take place as a virtual event on Wednesday September 2nd. This annual event, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing the gap between mathematicians and teachers of mathematics, and between those who do and enjoy mathematics and those who think they don't.

The topic this year is Artificial Intelligence and online teaching. While the event is free, registration is required and will close on September 1: https://www.pims.math.ca/educational/changing-culture
