Description

The Young People’s Project (YPP), in partnership with the Cambridge STEAM Initiative and Cambridge Public Schools, invite Cambridge students, families, educators, and community partners to enjoy a day-long math extravaganza!

  • Math Playground (10 a.m. - 12 p.m.) Families can explore 30+ interactive and math-centered games tailored to students in K-8th grade. Register here

  • Lunch (12 - 1 p.m.): Enjoy lunch options from a variety of food trucks

  • National Flagway Tournament (1 - 4:30 p.m.) Cheer on Cambridge 5 - 8th graders as they compete against teams from across the country in the 10th annual Flagway Tournament, a fast-paced, team-based competition rooted in number theory and led through YPP’s near-peer model of youth leadership. 

Join us at these free events to celebrate the joy and fun in math - and leave with ideas for how to explore math at home!
