During the session, students and teachers will present projects that they used in the past, with a focus on the process of project development\/revision. There will also be significant time for participants to develop\/workshop projects for their own math classes, so please bring an outline for a math project, or a project description that you'd like to revise.

Participants will also gain an understanding of how to create similar programs in their schools, libraries, and classrooms.

Are our learning communities designed to promote mental health for all? Are we keeping an eye on our colleagues? Groups will discuss these or similar topics of interest to participants.
