Construction and landscaping of Math Village education center

Sirince ◇ May 1 - May 15, 2013

Have you ever heard of Mathematics Village? Probably not, because it is only 6 years old. If you like nature and mathematics, this is a tailor made project for you. If you hate mathematics, you can still join this workcamp, as the project is not related with math but is about helping to build a non-formal education center in the nature. Mathematics Village is created by a university professor aiming to endear math to young people. Around 80 math lovers gather in this center during summer holidays, to learn, exercise and study math. International and national math professors are voluntarily sharing their knowledge with the young students.

The center still needs some construction work and landscaping, and volunteers are needed for this task in order to prepare the complex for the coming season.

Sirince is a small village in the west of Turkey. Sirince is very attractive and is famous for its home made wines and its traditional architecture. The nearest town Selcuk is the home of the world famous Ephessus open-air museum. The nearest large city Izmir is one hour away by bus.
