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，校外环境的泛滥，可以促进建立，制作，修补和设计活动，从而创造了一个前所未有的机会，可以参与广泛的参与者参与既有目的又强大的数学。迄今为止，这个机会几乎是普遍没有开发的。这次会议将与纽约科学厅合作，将从非正式的数学教育和新兴的“制作和修补”运动中聚集五十位研究人员和从业者两天，以合作地生成在制造和设计环境和计划中整合数学的方法。该项目包括会议前和会议后的活动，将在制作活动中生成数学的样本，指南，研究和实践的白皮书，回顾性的在线讨论以及对项目可交付成果的进一步传播。 它是由非正式的STEM学习（AISL）计划资助的，该计划旨在推进对非正式环境中STEM学习的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，以扩大对STEM学习经验的访问和参与度，推进对非正式环境中STEM学习的创新研究，并发展参与者对更深入学习的理解。通过会议以及会议前和会议活动，项目团队将： - 启动和维持研究人员和从业者之间的对话； - 建立合作，从而导致数学的变化在制作和设计环境中被构成和强调； - 创建资源来帮助人们在制造/设计社区中突出其环境中的数学； - 构建研究议程，以指导数学推理和对数学制作和设计环境中数学的态度的研究。这项工作包括会议以及会议前和会议后活动的广泛评估过程。
