The 4th Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication (CMSC 2018) will be held 21–23 July 2018. It is hosted by The Learning Connexion (TLC) in Wellington, New Zealand. Please join scientists, researchers, artists of all sorts in developing new ways of communicating computational thinking to children and to the public. We need activities in specific art forms (like dance, graphic art, theatre, …), we need many more that we can try with children.

New Zealand and other education ministries (Australia, Lithuania, and others) are including computational thinking in their curricula. Now is the time to provide these ministries and teachers with activities in order to implement the computational thinking objectives. We would like a 2018 CMSC goal of producing ten more 
Computer Science Unplugged activities (www.csunplugged.org).

The 2018 CMSC is a great opportunity for this because we have ample lead time to discuss possible activities prior to meeting in New Zealand, and once at TLC we will have the artists of Jonathan and Alice’s Institute to help implement the ideas into an activity. Already Tim, Matt and Brett are working with teachers who will use  the activities.

The website for CMSC New Zealand will be up shortly. Please register.
