Academic-Year Workshops NWMI offers several free Saturday workshops during the academic year at a variety of locations around the state. These workshops provide a great introduction to NWMI but are also of interest to NWMI alumni. NWMI Summer Geometry Institute . Since 1995 this high-energy week of geometry immersion has introduced participants to a broad spectrum of approaches to teaching geometry in its many guises. Teachers develop confidence with straws, origami, mirrors and spheres and use them in their classes.
Participants work hard and have a great time.
Since this is an immersion program, everyone is encouraged to stay on campus. In contrast with the SGI, which is a survey, each minicourse explores a mathematics topic in depth. However the SGI is not a prerequisite for the Investigations Minicourses. Inservice Workshops and other Courses NWMI offers occasional inservice workshops and courses through special arrangements with schools or districts. Contact NWMI if you are interested in arranging such a course or workshop.
