STEM Santa Fe is proud to have brought for the first time in New Mexico the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival in Santa Fe. This Festival is meant to inspire students to explore the richness and beauty of mathematics through activities that encourage collaborative, creative problem-solving. The Festival introduces kids to the beauty of mathematics by providing interesting, inspiring, engaging, and thought-provoking problems.
Quick Facts about Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival:
Middle school-aged boys and girls come together to explore thought-provoking mathematics in a social and cooperative atmosphere.
Other math enrichment programs are being offered and under development.
Using fun math games and interactive models kids can explore spatial and mathematical concepts in a lighthearted way.
STEM Santa Fe collaborated with the Santa Fe Public Library to offer summer STEM programming to rising middle school and early high school students. STEM Saturday lessons included GSK “Science in the Summer” engineering kits, hands-on math activities with the MathHappens Foundation, and explorations into the science behind renewable energy.

Artists and Mathematicians have long been fascinated by patterns, both simple and complex. Participants will learn about a variety of such patterns and create some of their own.
A Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival (JRMF), named after a pioneer among American women in mathematics, offers students advanced and thought-provoking mathematics in a social and cooperative atmosphere.Students choose among several tables offering problem sets, games, or puzzles with mathematical themes. Students work as long as they wish, while a facilitator provides support and encouragement. Motivation comes from the social interaction, rather than from any prize, grade, medal, or ranking.The festival can address any level of student, from those struggling with mathematics to those soaring in achievement.
