The School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW runs an annual series of free, one-day workshops for female students in their final years of high school studies (years 10 - 12). The aim of the workshop series is to encourage female students to consider mathematics as a career.
During the workshop, invited speakers talk about their careers, and we host sessions on the practicalities of university life, including information about our courses and degrees, applying for scholarships, and programs for talented students. These are complemented by a tour of the UNSW Kensington campus, including a visit to an undergraduate mathematics lecture, and a maths carnival. Lunch and refreshments are provided.

The 2021 on-campus workshop is scheduled for Thursday 10 June at UNSW, and a specially curated online version of the event will be held on Thursday 17 June. Please check back here for updates on arrangements - plans for the events are currently underway.
