Leveraging Mathematical Modeling for Education and Action (25w5498)

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) will host the "Leveraging Mathematical Modeling for Education and Action" workshop in Oaxaca, from May 11 to May 16, 2025.

In response to the evolving landscape of mathematics education and the growing emphasis on inclusive approaches, the “Leveraging Mathematical Modeling for Education and Action” workshop is designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among experts from diverse fields. The workshop will explore topics such as contextually grounded approaches to mathematical modeling, environmental perspectives on math modeling, the participation of women and girls in STEM, and the relationship between artificial intelligence and mathematical modeling. The workshop aims to support innovative approaches to mathematical modeling in education across all levels by encouraging collaboration among mathematicians, industry professionals, community stakeholders, and educators. The workshop is also expected to strengthen international collaboration among educators from Mexico, Canada, the United States, and Latin American countries.

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) in Mexico, and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) in Banff, are collaborative Canada-US-Mexico ventures that provide an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station in Banff is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta Technology and Innovation. The research station in Oaxaca is funded by UNAM and IIMAS.
