The Mathematically Curious Show
Treat your students to a summer outing! Join Ben Sparks, Katie Steckles and Rob Eastaway at London's historic Royal Institution lecture theatre, in the first in-person Maths Inspiration show since Lockdown. In this fun interactive show there will be quiz questions, curiosities and plenty of mathematical surprises. We're pitching this show at the Year 10-12 range.
Covid-19 precautions: It is expected that by 25th June, most restrictions on indoor venues will have been removed. However we will be abiding by the recommendations of the government on that date, and will also follow the guidelines of the Royal Institution for their events. We expect to seat schools in groups.
