TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS DAY!
It is the 200th birthday of Florence Nightingale (famous for her work in nursing, but also one of the founders of modern statistics), and of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian-American woman who was the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal (the most prestigious math award), and who taught at Stanford until her death in 2017 at the age of 40.
The main goal of our online event was to show the contribution of women to the development of mathematics through the ages.
The students of IV High School in Lodz prepared presentations, games, found short video to show their classmates that maths has also a face of a woman.
We used the idea of a mathematical fair to know who's going to be next.
All participants ( students and teachers) had a lot of fun.
Webinar capacity:500
in the case the webinar is full, we will release the video on youtube.

The Albanian Mathematical Association (AMA) is a non-profit and non-governmental association. She represents our country in the math international Olympiads, the "Math Kangaroo" international competition etc. One of its main tasks is to increase interest in mathematics in pre-university and university education, stimulate interest to new math teachers and young mathematicians.
ACEMS reached out to women in mathematics and statistics around Australia for video greetings for Women in Math Day. More than 70 women responded. You can see their greetings here: https://acems.org.au/women-maths-day-2020
