2. The Mathematical Fair (Hybrid)

Time : 2:00pm - 3:30pm

An informal and dynamic gathering where math enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds come together to share their favorite mathematical stories, theorems, objects, or puzzles. It promises to be a celebration of mathematics and inclusivity, showcasing the passion and talent of mathematicians of all genders.

Here's how it works:

• Bring your most intriguing mathematical gem to share with our audience.
• Upon joining the event, each potential speaker will be assigned a speaking order.
• All speakers will have their speaking order randomly selected by a virtual draw.
• Each speaker will have a 5-minute time slot to present their mathematical gem, followed by 1-2 questions from the online audience.

With this interactive format, we aim to accommodate approximately 7-8 speakers within one hour, ensuring a lively and enjoyable session for all participants..

3. Movie Streaming (Hybrid)

Time: 11:30am - 12:30pm

 We will collectively stream two 11 minutes-length animated documentaries "Alicia Boole in the land of polytopes"  and "Kovalevskaya's Spinning Top".
