Hi friends, Many of you are enjoying the winter school break here in South Africa and summer break in the northern hemisphere. With the 3rd term just around the corner we have exciting events coming up. We had an incredibly busy term 2 with Prof Arthur Benjamin the Mathemagician, Janet Ivey from Janet's Planet and former NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott. We managed to interact with over 15 000 people in person and we were featured on Radio, TV, various Social Media as well as in the local press. The reach has been measured in the millions! We count this as a success for Science communication! I have just returned from the USA where I got to attend the annual ISTE Conference to learn more about the latest tech advances used in classrooms around the world. I got to present for Kahoot and work with the incredible team behind the Quiz platform. I also managed to squeeze in a surprise visit to one of our online schools in Connecticut. Finally, I had the privilege of working with one of our partners, The Museum of Math in New York and I put on a couple of shows for some excited students. We will be planning some awesome online interviews for this term and we will announce the lineup over the next couple of weeks. With World space Week coming up in October, we are hosting some guests from NASA and have a few more coming to South Africa at the end of July! Watch this space. I am excited about traveling to the Republic of Ireland again in October for National Maths week to run more activities all over the country. I am currently setting the Living Maths Olympiad papers for 2023 and if luck works in our favour we will be able to host it earlier this year but still offer the same end dates as previous years to allow more schools to participate. We have a competition below. Finally, our online classes are going to restart next week - more information can be found below. ONLINE CLASSES Our Third online Cycle will be starting up for students from K-9: Please note that the classes will take place only on Thursday.

Online INTERVIEWS - We have some awesome interviews we are hoping to line up. We will commence these from August and schools from around the world will be invited to join in live and students get to ask questions too! * Experts on Bullying - This topic is critical in schools around the world. * A family that lives and travels in a van around the USA - hear about their adventures and alternative lifestyle. * Kirsten Neuschafer, the winner of the Golden Globe Race. Listen to her describe her incredible achievement and ask her questions about it!
