Explore engaging workshops in mathematics and computer science offered by the CEMC.
Each year, the CEMC hosts the SPARCS (Seeing Possibilities and Rewards in Computer Science) workshop to encourage Grade 9 and 10 students of gender identities under-represented in computer science to dive into the world of computer science.
CS Escape is a virtual workshop designed to introduce programming to Grade 8 students who identify as a girl and have very little or no programming experience. We also welcome gender minorities who feel comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women.
Below you will find courses that we anticipate offering in the Master of Mathematics for Teachers (MMT) program. Please note that these courses are subject to change. For course descriptions, please visit the graduate studies academic calendar.
