MaTCH is a professional organization of mathematicians, educators, and mathematics educators who meet regularly to engage in mathematical problem-solving activities in order to further their own math knowledge as well as to develop our skills in anticipating students’ struggles, so that we might better mitigate and solve systemic problems in mathematics education.
MaTCH is planning a special kickoff event on Saturday, October 8, 8:30-11am, for the new year 2016-2017.
Prof. Monique Chyba from the math department and Igor Nitikin, graduate students, will lead some activities related to the "Cubes in Space" program.

idoodlelearning is proud to partner with the Colorado Space Grant Consortium with support from NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Sounding Rocket Program Offices to bring Cubes in Space to a new generation of future inventors, scientists, engineers, artists and innovators. Cubes in Space™ is the only program in the world to provide students (ages 11-18) with a free opportunity to design experiments to be launched into space on a NASA rocket or balloon!
This is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) based global education program, enabling kids to learn about space exploration utilizing innovative problem-solving inquiry-based learning methods. By participating in this program, students and educators are provided with engaging content and activities in preparation for the design and development of an experiment to be integrated into a small cube.
