These are scattered bullet point notes from Lauren DeDieu's Margaret Sinclair Award Lecture
It was great to go to Forum and see a bunch of old friends. Many people I hadn’t seen since before the Pandemic. I don’t think I’d seen Lauren DeDieu since CMESG in 2018~19. The main event of Forum was Lauren’s talk about her work. Below, I’ve included some scattered notes about her talk.
Lauren organizes a lot of summer camps and enrichment activities in Calgary. I’ve wanted to get back in to “math camp” life for ages. One big idea, for me, to take away from her talk is to liase with your local summer camp organizational team. (For me, Camp UoT.)

Many STEM majors report that expressing creativity and their personality is often missing from their degrees.
Most university students are rather weak in metacognition.
