Circumstances Regarding COVID-19
Due to concerns regarding COVID-19, we will unfortunately have to postpone all upcoming events in March and April. In an effort to prevent the spread of any illnesses, the Probability Workshop (3/22/20) and the All Girls Math Tournament (4/5/20) will be postponed to a later time. We will cancel all registrations for both of these events. We're so sorry for the inconvenience, but the safety of our participants, parents, and volunteers is a top priority.
We will keep you updated regarding when workshops will start up again.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
