Math Explorers Club (MEC), 11/7 & 11/14

About this event

FALL 2026

There are two module sessions in November. Dates are below.

The Math Explorers' Club (MEC) consists of a sequence of lessons, led by graduate students and facilitated by undergraduate students and postdoctoral researchers, that introduce new mathematical concepts and problem-solving strategies to grades 8-12 students. Lessons are designed to be interactive, providing opportunities for participants to ask and refine questions, develop ideas and definitions, and solve problems cooperatively. Students are encouraged to share what they have learned with the general public by creating a presentation or poster based on their experience.

The Department of Mathematics generally offers one or two Math Explorers' Club modules on the Cornell campus each semester. Students can expect interactive lessons taught in a cooperative and supportive learning environment = lots of fun!
