Then don't miss <a href="https://www.poshenloh.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>the family math event hosted by the <a href="https://www.westonschools.org/high/departments/mathematics/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Math Department of Weston High School</a>. </p><p>This event will be fun and thought-provoking: completely different from an ordinary math talk.</p><p>This event is for families of students who will start <strong>grades 5–11</strong> next school year (parents are encouraged to attend). Prof. Loh will weave together a variety of topics, starting from some math questions which demonstrate the power of mathematical creativity. However, the interactive talk will rapidly expand to stories from his own experiences applying mathematical thinking to innovate and implement new solutions to real world problems. The talk will also share practical strategies to develop skills in math and invention.</p><p>The audio/visual setup will use Prof. Loh's system which turns any outdoor space into a classroom. Please bring a phone, tablet, or laptop  to view the visuals that he will share through his WiFi at the site. You do not need your own data connection.</p><h3></h3><h3>Speaker Info</h3><p>Po-Shen Loh is a math professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and the national coach of the USA International Math Olympiad team.
