Maths Inspiration is a national programme of interactive maths lecture shows for teenagers. We want to show 14-17 year olds that there's far more to maths than taking exams. We give them a chance to experience the UK's most inspiring maths speakers presenting mathematics live in the context of exciting, real-world applications. Our shows are exceptional value for money.
We usually hold our events in theatres, because nothing beats the experience of watching a show in person, but we also do occasional live shows online.
Maths Inspiration began in 2004. Since then over 200,000 teenagers have attended our shows making us one of the largest and most successful maths enrichment programmes in the UK.
MATHS FEST.
We also run a parallel set of events in the spring called Maths Fest. Maths Fest is an all day event, aimed at sixth formers and Year 11s who are already 'into' maths. The all-day format includes Maths Slam in which students get a chance to present lightning maths talks, a short session on exam-technique, and time during breaks to tackle puzzles, talk to university students, and visit exhibitor stands. Details of Maths Fest can be found at: www.Maths-Fest.com
