Patrick HonnerIncredibly proud of our mathematical modeling team who placed in the top ten worldwide in the 2025 International Mathematical Modeling Contest (IMMC)! Unfortunately our team couldn't make it to Hong Kong last week for the IMMC Summit and awards presentation. Maybe next year!<a href="https://immchallenge.org/Contests/2025/awards/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://immchallenge.org/Contests/2025/awards/index.html</a><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Math</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathEd</a>

Patrick HonnerProud to be profiled on the COMAP website! This article highlights the incredible work done by the students in our applied math and modeling group this past year. They achieved some great things, and we're looking forward to more modeling next year!<a href="https://www.comap.com/blog/item/teaching-modeling-and-mentoring-at-the-highest-level-meet-patrick-honner" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.comap.com/blog/item/teaching-modeling-and-mentoring-at-the-highest-level-meet-patrick-honner</a><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Math</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MathEd</a>

Dan Drake 🦆Came across Seymour Papert's "Teaching Children Thinking" essay: <a href="https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5835" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5835</a>It captures almost exactly my philosophy of education, teaching, computing, and so on.I want to quote so much of it! Here's just one:"The purpose of this essay is to present a grander vision of an educational system in watch technology is used not in the form of machines for processing children but as something the child himself will learn to manipulate, to extend, to apply to projects, thereby gaining a greater and more articulate mastery of the world, a sense of the power of applied knowledge and a self-confidently realistic image of himself as an intellectual agent."I'm surprised at how the article -- from 1971! -- describes so many of the programming-like things available today. So much of the play-oriented things we have now -- games like Robot Turtles, various robots that do path-following things -- are exactly what they were doing over half a century ago.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mathed</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/computerscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computerscience</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/logo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#logo</a>
