Po-Shen Loh – a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the National Coach for the US Math Olympiad Team – has developed a new way to challenge and inspire students who find the standard math curriculum easy. To engage students’ attention, his team have created an innovative online format for live video math teaching that makes it fun for middle and high school math students to stretch themselves beyond what they thought they were capable of, and teaches them to think creatively about math.
These classes are already hugely popular across the US, and we have delivered one program at KAUST, which was a huge success. For more information about this revolutionary way to learn math online, visit Math Live.
If you would like to learn more about this program from Po-Shen Loh himself, please state this on the form and we will arrange a Zoom session for parents and students before the program commences.
