MOTIVATE is
a real-time videoconferencing project for schools, providing maths, science and cross-curricular videoconferences and linked projects for students of all ages (5-19) both in the UK and internationally.
 Secondary students
find out what professional mathematicians and scientists do,
and how their work is used in the real world.
Younger
children take part in interactive videoconferences,
with activities based across the curriculum.
Our VCs give all participating students opportunities to:
enrich their mathematical and scientific experience
be part of a wider mathematical/scientific community
experience maths/science as living, creative subjects
extend topics across curricular boundaries
collaborate on extended projects and present their work to an authentic audience
develop their communication and listening skills
build up their confidence and self-esteem.

To
get involved, look at our current programme (noting carefully the recommended age range for each conference), then fill in our online
form or use the Get involved! tab
along the top of the page.
Primary conferences
are free until July 2007. There is a charge for all secondary
conferences, and we are revising our primary and 6th from charges
from September 2008.
Motivate Charging Policy and Cancellation
Policy.
We
give a target age range for our conferences, but not a mathematical
level. We aim to provide a variety of materials so that most students
within the target age range can be accommodated. However, if you would
like further information for any conference, please email Jenny Gage
(jag55@cam.ac.uk).
Please
note that you will need to complete a successful
videoconference connection with us before any booking can be finalised (contact
Adrian Cullum-Hanshaw, a.cullum-hanshaw@damtp.cam.ac.uk).
Our archive of
project work is freely available to schools.
