And just like that, #NMSS2022 is nearly over. We had a second set of staff panellists answering students' questions on Wednesday night, including Dana Ma, Siksha Sivaramakrishnan, AProf Jonathan Kress and Dr Brendan McMonigal. What an incredible team we have!

It's the end of Day 4 at #NMSS2022! Today our students got a chance to 'Ask Anything' of four of our staff members: Andy Tran, Dr Mel Lee, Dr Merryn Horrocks, and Tom Clement. A fantastic session for all involved!

#NMSS2022 is fast-approaching! This year the school runs online from Thu 13th to Fri 21st. All 104 staff and students have been sent a package containing course materials and daily gifts. Many thanks to @mav_info for lending us a room for our two days of packing boxes!

Even though #NMSS2021 is over, we have lots to remember it by! Every single staff member and student (that's 105 people!) received a parcel containing the academic material and a small gift for each of the 8 days.

Gifts (and those responsible for them) can be found below. (1/2)

"While maths might be the language of the universe, it's spoken by humans, with all their genius and all their faults" - Robyn Owens (during the Blakers Lecture delivered as part of #NMSS2021) @NMSS_Aus

#NMSS2021 looks completely different to normal, but we're having a great time! The academic program is taking place over Zoom and our social program is based on Discord. Here's our senior staff 'group photo'...

The countdown is on⏱️
#NMSS2021 begins in one week!

This year, our main group will study number theory with Norm Do and algorithms with Merryn Horrocks,
while our experienced group will learn about symmetry groups from Jonathan Kress and combinatorics from Leanne Rylands👩‍🏫

Congratulations to our director Norm Do for receiving the @AustMS Teaching Excellence Award for 2020! This award recognises Norm's enthusiastic approach to teaching at @MonashUni, as well as his generous commitment to enrichment programs such as NMSS. Well-deserved, @norm_do!

We're gearing up for the 53rd National Maths Summer School - the first (and hopefully only) to be completely online. We're looking forward to getting back to @ourANU in 2022 but in the meantime, wish us luck with the online format! #NMSS2021 @aamtinc
