MC2 hosts events year-round — from math festivals in schools to our annual QED Symposium each December. We also occasionally feature guest talks by mathematicians and screenings of math related documentaries.
Events Year-Round
From math festivals in schools and libraries to our annual QED Symposium in December, MC2 hosts engaging events throughout the year—including occasional guest talks by mathematicians.
Seasonal Programs
Our hub math circles run in fall, winter, and in summer camps. Registration opens in two phases: first a lottery, then open enrollment for any remaining spots.
Our film screening on 2/22 of Hunting Yellow Pigs is aimed at any students interested in applying to summer math programs! Research pathways students who attend can learn more about the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics program, but also get resources on applying to this and many more summer math camps, both in Chicago and beyond.
Additional information sessions will be held at our hub math circles throughout the winter. Stay tuned for more details!
Students can enter MC2's winter lottery starting on December 2nd. Students who were enrolled in the fall can re-enroll starting that day. On December 14th we will run our lottery and families will be notified about their admission. After December 14th openings will be available first come, first serve. All of our sites will have their first winter session in January; February 5th is the final day to enroll for winter 2026.
Some programs will have waitlists and others will not. Most popular are our programs at FORA in Rogers Park, and our Cheng-3/4 and Haynes-5/6 programs at Payton and UChicago.
