Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival

The mission of Julia Robinson Math Fest is to inspire students to explore the richness and beauty of mathematics through games, and activities that encourage collaborative, creative and interactive problem-solving.

The festival will bring together students from local middle schools, high schools, and colleges to engage in various thought-provoking activities in a social and cooperative atmosphere. Participants can choose from several tables of math-themed games, puzzles, and activities where a facilitator (Faculty and students from UW Tacoma, Tacoma CC, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma Public Schools, Engineers, etc ) will be happy to work with them for as long as they wish while providing support and encouragement. These social interactions have shown to be a critical component in motivating students.
