AWom has designed initiatives that play a crucial role in promoting mathematics among girls.
Marathons to Promote Mathematics
Marathons that promote mathematics offer a unique, engaging platform to highlight the importance of math. These events can generate excitement and interest among girls by connecting mathematics with dynamic, real-world activities. They also provide a visible, fun way to celebrate achievements in math, making the subject more appealing and relatable.
Math Camps
Math camps provide immersive, hands-on experiences where girls can explore mathematics in depth. These camps foster a love for math through interactive learning and collaboration with peers. They also offer opportunities for girls to build strong foundational skills and discover new areas of interest in a supportive environment.
School Visits
School visits by mathematicians, educators, or role models can inspire and motivate girls by showing them real-world applications of math and career possibilities. These visits help to break down stereotypes and provide practical insights into the value of mathematics, encouraging girls to pursue and excel in the subject.
Mentoring Sessions
Mentoring sessions connect girls with experienced professionals who can offer guidance, support, and encouragement. Mentors help girls navigate their educational paths, build confidence, and set goals. They provide valuable advice and serve as role models, demonstrating that success in mathematics is attainable.
Olympiads
Math Olympiads are competitive events that challenge students with complex problems and foster a spirit of excellence. For girls, participating in Olympiads can build problem-solving skills, boost confidence, and offer recognition for their abilities. These competitions also create a platform to showcase and celebrate their mathematical talents.
Math Labs
Math labs offer a dedicated space for exploration and experimentation with mathematical concepts. They provide hands-on activities, tools, and resources that make learning math interactive and enjoyable. Math labs encourage girls to experiment, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.
Students sponsorship program
Sponsor bright but economically challenged girls to purse graduate training.
Marathons, camps, school visits, mentoring, Olympiads, and math labs collectively create a supportive, inspiring, and engaging environment. They help to spark interest, build confidence, and provide practical experiences, all of which are essential for encouraging girls to pursue and excel in mathematics.
Since its inception in 2013, AwoM, has worked with hundreds of schools, held marathons, (RUN4MATH), held MATHCAMPS, supported girls for research at Master's Level, visited over 200 schools, supported schools with scholastic materials such as calculators, text books, graph papers, provided hygiene lessons and sanitary towels to girls, and impacted more than 20,000 learners.
