Workshop Spotlight
For a second straight year, MƒA partnered with The Story Collider, a nonprofit organization dedicated to telling true, personal stories about science to host an MƒA Thursday Thinks event. Five MƒA teachers took the stage at Caveat, a speakeasy on the Lower East Side, to share their own authentic experiences with math, science, and life inside and outside the classroom. From uplifting to heartbreaking, these intimate stories delivered powerful messages that made listeners laugh, cry, and feel inspired. You can watch each talk in its entirety below. (And warning – some talks include NSFW language!).
