Eventmath/Meetups

About Eventmath meetups
Eventmath is a wiki for math lesson plans based on current events, powered by a community of educators. We contribute lesson plans, use them in the classroom, and participate in many other ways. Our mission is to help students use math as a tool for understanding their world.

Eventmath meetups are community-organized events that can be either online or in person. Here are some examples:
 * Workshops that introduce new community members to Eventmath and help them contribute new lesson plans
 * Edit-a-thons that aim to improve existing lesson plans, or put them through peer review
 * Talks in which community members relate classroom experiences or present research about the impact of Eventmath
 * Meetings for the community to publicly make plans or set project priorities
 * Office hours for beginners (e.g. in a Zoom room or physical office)
 * Social events to get to know fellow Eventmath participants

We welcome you to join us for a meetup!

Short guide for meetup organizers
Are you interested in organizing a meetup? That's great! A short how-to checklist is below, followed by some tips for getting started.

Checklist

 * 1) Create a subpage of this page, for each meetup or series of related meetups.
 * 2) For inspiration about what to put on your meetup page, see the meetup list.
 * 3) Apply the "Eventmath meetups" category tag to the page you created.
 * 4) Link to your meetup page from the Eventmath Welcome page, under "News."
 * 5) Link to your meetup page from the directory below (the most recent meetups go at the top).
 * 6) Promote your meetup!

Tips

 * Specific categories are best.
 * For example, "Eventmath workshop" is more specific than "Eventmath meetup."
 * You can create a new category if needed and make it a subcategory of Eventmath meetups if it's not already listed there.
 * Google Forms is convenient for organizing participant registrations.
 * If you'd like to find more participants for your meetup, here are some tips for promoting it:
 * Contact Eventmath participating organizations.
 * Send direct messages to people you know who might be interested.
 * Post on social media. Twitter is good for this.
 * Submit a notice or write-up to a relevant newsletter, such as the Global Math Department Newsletter.
