Mini Girls Do the Maths Workshop for L'Oreal Girls in Science Forum
Published on the 31 Oct 2016
Last Thursday, 15 female high school students visited the School as part of the L'Oreal Girls in Science Forum.
We ran a Mini Girls Do the Maths workshop for the students, who came from Rose Bay Secondary College, Matraville Sports High School, and Alexandria Park Community School.
The workshop comprised a presentation about maths and stats careers by A/Prof Catherine Greenhil, followed by a presentation and fun demonstration by
Dr Ana Zumalacarregui about how to tackle optimisation and surface area problems - with bubbles!
The results were quite striking and surprising, and students were given the opportunity to engage with the activity, which they did enthusiastically.
A big thank you to Dr Zumalacarregui and A/Prof Greenhill for presenting this workshop!
