Elementary school math clubIn spring 2017 I started and ran the Espoo International School Math Club.
It is an after-school activity for kids in elementary
school. We engage in a variety of activities covering all kinds of math
that is very different from what is found in the regular curricula. I am continuing the club in autumn 2017. For each weekly meeting I write a blog post with the description of the
activities we did, a short overview of the mathematics, links and apps.
There are also additional activities to try at home that often will be
fun for the whole family :) Here is a direct link for the activities from spring 2017. School visits, 2016 -->Scientists in Schools "LUMA Centre Aalto [more info in Finnish] offers scientist visits to primary and secondary
schools, and to high schools. The researcher organizes a small science
session in your class, including: introducing their research field in a
fun way, giving an interesting demonstration for the level of the
students, telling students about their work, and answering students'
questions." As a member of this initiative I have visited a number of schools in Espoo. Students have ranged in age from 7 to 17.
