Overview:
The Centre for Education in Mathematics & Computing (CEMC) is Canada’s largest and most recognized outreach organization for promoting and creating activities and materials in mathematics and computer science and is housed within the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Our mission is to increase interest, enjoyment, confidence, and ability in mathematics and computer science among learners and educators in Canada and internationally. We do that through a commitment to our core values: future readiness, access, community, and impact. As such, the CEMC is the first point of contact at Waterloo for a significant percentage of our future undergraduate and graduate students and their parents. Through outreach activities, the CEMC has perhaps the largest set of external points of contact amongst any unit on campus.

These activities include contest creation and marking events, student workshops, teacher conferences, CEMC Visits Schools program and many other face-to-face and virtual outreach activities as well as serving as support and strategic back-up to the Contest Administration Specialist with the 12 Mathematics and 3 Computer Science contests.
