Mega Maths Day

For students in Years 9 and 10

An opportunity to surprise and inspire students with mathematics and showcase the variety of disciplines and careers that require mathematics. Mega Maths Day will show your students how magnificent, marvellous and monumental maths is! 

Why maths?

Mathematics is the hidden hero in every STEM discipline, whether it is within geosciences, biology or psychology. Wherever your students see themselves heading in their future studies and careers, we want to show them how important and useful it is to have a foundation in maths.

Students in Years 9 and 10 are beginning to choose their future direction and selecting subjects in Year 10 for Stage 6 (the final two years of high school), so give them the opportunity to find out just how important a solid background in maths is for a huge array of disciplines and careers. 

Your students will join us for a day of STEM fun, including meeting a real mathematician and getting involved in your school's choice of three hands-on workshops from different scientific disciplines but all focused on the importance of maths.

Mega Maths Day workshop choices

Workshops will showcase mathematics in a variety of disciplines such as:

  • Archaeology
  • Agriculture
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Geosciences
  • Physics
  • Psychology
  • and even more!

Your class will be allowed to pick their favourite three workshops to attend out of a selection. See an example of our previous workshops (pdf, 420KB).

We will contact registered schools closer to the program time to confirm your student numbers, organise quotations and invoices for you, and confirm your three workshop preferences.

We will also need:

  • A student roll for WHS
  • Media/photography permissions for each student
