The Statisticians and Data Scientists of the future NEED YOU!

[Nevil Hopley]

Dear Mathematics Teachers in the Central Belt of Scotland,

Do YOU want to help inspire the next generation of Data Scientists and Statisticians?

Do YOU teach any pupils who are currently studying any of the following…

• Higher Mathematics

• Higher Applications of Mathematics

• Advanced Higher Mathematics

• Advanced Higher Statistics

• Higher Computer Science

• Advanced Higher Computer Science

Then read about this event in Edinburgh (https://rsse.nhost.uk/) and this event in Glasgow (https://rssg.nhost.uk/)

These are the return of the highly successful event that first took place in Edinburgh in September 2023, and now runs annually in both Edinburgh and Glasgow as part of Maths Week Scotland. Indeed, they are the only in-person events designed specifically for older Secondary School pupils during that week!

Please circulate this web link(s) to all of your current S5 or S6 pupils and encourage them to sign up in advance of the events that take place on 24 September 2025 (Edinburgh) and 25 September 2025 (Glasgow). They will be sent more details closer to the time.

This event is designed to help them with their future subject choices, UCAS applications and career plans. Refreshments and freebies will be on offer!

As teachers, you are also welcome to register your interest in attending and quiz our mystery guests as well.

Note: pupils and staff can attend as members of the public, and not as part of any official school group or trip.
