Over the last decade there has been a proliferation of out-of-school environments that foster building, making, tinkering, and design activities, creating an unprecedented opportunity to engage a wide range of participants in mathematics that is both purposeful and powerful. To date, this opportunity has been almost universally unexploited. The conference, which will take place at and in collaboration with the New York Hall of Science, will gather fifty researchers and practitioners from informal mathematics education and the burgeoning "making and tinkering" movement for two days to collaboratively generate approaches to integrating mathematics in making and design environments and programs. The project, which includes pre- and post-conference activities, will produce a sampler of Math in Making activities, a guidebook, a white paper for research and practice, a retrospective online discussion, and further dissemination of project deliverables. It is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understanding of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments. This includes providing multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences, advancing innovative research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments, and developing understandings of deeper learning by participants. Through the conference and pre- and post-conference activities, the project team will: - Initiate and sustain conversations between researchers and practitioners; - Establish collaborations that lead to changes in the way math is framed and highlighted in making and design environments; - Create resources to help people in the making/design community highlight the math in their environments; and - Frame a research agenda to guide studies of mathematical reasoning and attitudes towards math in making and design environments.The work includes an extensive evaluation process of the conference and of pre- and post-conference activities.

在过去的十年中，校外环境不断涌现，促进了建筑、制作、修补和设计活动，创造了前所未有的机会，让广泛的参与者参与到既有目的又强大的数学活动中。迄今为止，这一机会几乎尚未被普遍利用。该会议将在纽约科学馆举行并与纽约科学馆合作举行，将聚集来自非正式数学教育和新兴“制造和修补”运动的 50 位研究人员和从业者，为期两天，共同制定将数学整合到制造和设计环境和程序中的方法。该项目包括会前和会后活动，将制作数学制作活动样本、指南、研究和实践白皮书、回顾性在线讨论以及项目可交付成果的进一步传播。 它由推进非正式 STEM 学习 (AISL) 计划资助，该计划旨在推进非正式环境中 STEM 学习设计和开发的新方法和基于证据的理解。这包括提供多种途径来扩大 STEM 学习体验的获取和参与，推进非正式环境中 STEM 学习的创新研究和评估，以及加深参与者对更深层次学习的理解。通过会议以及会前和会后活动，项目团队将： - 发起并维持研究人员和从业者之间的对话； - 建立合作，改变数学在制作和设计环境中的构建和突出方式； - 创建资源来帮助制作/设计社区中的人们突出其环境中的数学； - 制定研究议程，指导数学推理研究以及制作和设计环境中对数学的态度。这项工作包括对会议以及会前和会后活动的广泛评估过程。
