Multicultural Math Gallery Walkthrough will feature an array of Multicultural MathSpaces and mathematicians from underrepresented demographics. This curation was hand selected by our students in the Program of Mathematics Education at Teachers College. The mathematical spaces featured were selected for their design that can simulate effective education of a multicultural student body. We define MathSpaces as any space, physical or virtual, where mathematics learning, socialization, and/or identity development occurs.

Participants will see STEM come alive as they engage with robots and drones in standards-aligned learning activities. The station will show a process for the design of equitable and inclusive learning opportunities demonstrating how the lived experiences and cultural connections of students, whatever the age, can be linked to core content areas.
We will have a ‘prototype’ drone-construction activity and robots for attendees of all ages to control through tablets and an easy-to-learn coding app. It will be fun and we will assist with experiential learning for all who stop by!

Coming out of the course, MSTC 4040: Science in Childhood Education, elementary preservice science teachers have put together 2 STEAM activities. One activity involves exploring time, making sundials, and using our location and the sun’s location to tell time. The other activity involves examining how birds use the materials in their environments to build nests.
We hope to see you at our STEAM stations!

Building on the work of Matilda J. Gage who was a women’s rights activist from the US. The campaign named after her, #NoMoreMatildas, seeks to give visibility to those female scientists that history pushed into the background, looking to encourage women to take on science-related studies. Our station will feature the projects of 40+ Middle School girls seeking to illustrate the importance of Women in Science. In collaboration with the Preservice Science Education Program, its teachers in preparation and the Academy of Holy Angels Middle School Women in Science and Engineering Chapter, exhibits will be displayed in rooms Zankel 404 and Zankel 414. We invite you to collaborate with us in this opportunity to engage in culturally responsive discussions around who belongs in the the STEM community and why. Also, please take an opportunity to introduce yourself to our young women scientists so they can learn diverse that mentors exist!
