We invite guest speakers who inspire, stimulate, and inform the participants. We coordinate the topics for the guest talks with the mathematical content of our classroom activities, both by preparing the students beforehand and by allowing time for discussion afterwards. The guest speakers interact with the participants before and after their talks and entertain discussions on their background, their education, and their careers.
