Purposes:
The ATCM local chapter is meant to promote the exchanges of students-centered projects where technological tools are being implemented creatively in solving real-life problems. Teachers and students will gain valuable knowledge in handling projects with up to date technological tools. It is common sense that mathematics learning outcomes cannot be and should not be measured only by testing or examination alone, this is where project-based exploration could become life-long learning experiences.

Topics of Interests:
The conference will cover a broad range of topics on the application and use of technology in Mathematics research and teaching. These include, but are not limited to:

Exchange ideas of students-centered projects between Chinese and international scholars.

Exchange ideas of implementing technology in mathematics instructions and learning between local and international scholars.

Exchange ideas of implementing technology in mathematics research between local and international scholars.

Format of the Conference:
We will have plenary speeches, presentations and hands-on workshops.
