It is our fourth time organizing it. This time it became even more important as the dispute between the teachers and the government that presented half a million BC students from starting schools this year hasn&#8217;t been resolved. This is a very special event for me as I believe that engaging families in mathematics and science education is very important. It is also important because it provides an opportunity to engage K-12 teachers many of whom are not science teachers in science and mathematics outreach. I hope we will have a very exciting event! I am looking forward to it and I am grateful that both the Dean and the Head of my department support it, as well as many faculty and students who always volunteer their time and talents to make it a success.<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mmilner\/files\/2013\/10\/13-10-2013-5-58-54-PM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2392\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mmilner\/files\/2013\/10\/13-10-2013-5-58-54-PM-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"13-10-2013 5-58-54 PM\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mmilner\/files\/2013\/10\/13-10-2013-5-58-54-PM-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mmilner\/files\/2013\/10\/13-10-2013-5-58-54-PM.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again we are getting ready for the Mathematics and Science Family Day.\u00a0This event has become a tradition in the faculty.
