Come to the 4th Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication (CMSC 2018) conference will be held 21-23 July in Wellington, NZ.

DO YOU LOVE COMPUTER SCIENCE UNPLUGGED?

This is the FIRST TIME a computer science conference is being held at an art institute. Come and be part of this extraordinary experience. Join scientists, researchers, teachers and artists in developing new ways to communicate computational thinking.

Design CULTURAL and whole body activities that show understanding and relevance to business, government, kids, elders, indigenous peoples. Connect math with the inner self and community. Use simple materials like string, sticky pads. Welcome are contributions in art forms such as dance, graphic art, theatre ... many more ways to communicate science to the public.

Poster is attached.

DANCE. ACTION. THEATRE. MORE.... Unleash your creativity. Make your ideas concrete. Story-full. Directors of the premier NZ Art Academy, The Learning Connexion are our guides.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: TIM BELL, MIKE FELLOWS. The conference will feature keynote talks by leading researchers and communicators in the mathematical sciences, sharing their experience, new initiatives and ideas.

Note: CMSC will be followed by an FPT Parameterized Complexity Workshop.
