Do you love CS Unplugged! So do we. Come to CMSC 2018.
Join scientists, researchers, teachers and artists in developing new ways of communicating mathematical and computational thinking. Welcome are contributions in art forms such as dance, graphic art, theatre ... many more ways to communicate science to the public. The conference will feature keynote talks by leading researchers and communicators in the mathematical sciences, sharing their experience, new initiatives and ideas.
4th
Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication (CMSC 2018) conference
Location: Wellington, New
Zealand at The Learning Connexion (TLC)
Dates:
21–23 July 2018

The CMSC conference series was initiated in 2013 with considerable support
from Google. The aim is to explore new ways of communicating mathematical
sciences, focusing on algorithmic and computational thinking. The impulse is to
build on materials and activities such as Computer Science Unplugged (www.csunplugged.org).
The CMSC 2018 is special because it is being hosted at New Zealand's leading
art institute, The Learning Connexion (TLC). We will be in the company of the
institute's artists as we explore the possibilities.
New Zealand and many other countries are now including computational thinking in their curricula. Exploring the envelope of creative mathematical sciences communication is a vital part of these efforts. A goal of CMSC 2018 is to produce ten more Computer Science Unplugged activities as good as the iconic Sorting Network.
