As a flagship youth program of CIE/USA‑DFW\, MCMF welcomes nearly 1\,000 participants each year\, including students\, parents\, educators\, and volunteers. The event aims to inspire young students’ interest in STEM through engaging and educational activities for families. MCMF 2026 will include four sessions: Math Competition; Math Fun Session; Parents Seminar; Awards Ceremony. Event address: The Naveen Jindal School of Management (Davidson Auditorium) at the University of Texas at Dallas\, 800 West Campbell Road\, Richardson\, TX 75080-3021 EligibilityStudents currently in grades 1–8 (Spring 2026) are eligible to participate. Registration is required for the Math Competition. $10 early registration (through May 24) $15 registration (May 25–May 31) Registration fees are non-refundable Click the “Get Tickets” button above to register.

MathFun Session and Parent Seminars are FREE and open to the public. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Seminar I : Raising a THOUGHT FULL Generation in the Age of AI Time: 1-2PM Presented by Prof. Po-Shen Loh  Seminar II : Beyond Numbers: Building Confidence\, Creativity\, and Problem-Solving Skills Through Math Time: 2:30-3:30PM Presented by: Prof. Po-Shen Loh\, Prof. Candace Walkington\, Kaitlyn Fan\, and Colin Wei. Seminar Speaker Profiles: Prof. Po-Shen Loh at CMUProf Loh is a Math Professor at CMU. Po-Shen Loh is a social entrepreneur and inventor\, working across the spectrum of mathematics\, education\, and healthcare\, all around the world. He is a math professor at Carnegie Mellon University\, and served a decade-long term as the national coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad team from 2013–2023. He has pioneered innovations ranging from a scalable way to learn challenging math live online at comparable engagement to live-streaming entertainment\, to a new way to control pandemics by leveraging self-interest.   As an academic\, Po-Shen has earned distinctions ranging from an International Mathematical Olympiad silver medal to the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. His scientific research considers a variety of questions that lie at the intersection of combinatorics (the study of discrete systems)\, probability theory\, and computer science. As an educator\, he was the coach of Carnegie Mellon University’s math team when it achieved its first-ever #1 rank among all North American universities\, and the coach of the USA Math Olympiad team when it achieved its first-ever back-to-back #1-rank victories in 2015 and 2016\, and then again in 2018 and 2019. His research and educational outreach takes him to cities across the world\, reaching over 10\,000 people each year through public lectures and events\, and he has featured in or co-created videos totaling over 21 million YouTube views.   Po-Shen received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Caltech in 2004\, graduating with the highest GPA in his class. He received a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2005\, where he was supported by a Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship. He continued his studies at Princeton\, supported by a Hertz Foundation Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the end of 2009\, and has been on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University ever since.    Prof. Candace Walkington \, Annette and Harold Simmons Centennial Chair Professor at Southern Methodist University.  Dr. Walkington specializes in mathematics education. Her research examines how abstract mathematical ideas can become connected to students’ concrete\, everyday experiences and “funds of knowledge\,” such that mathematical ideas are more understandable. She conducts research on “personalizing” mathematics instruction to students’ out-of-school interests in areas like sports\, music\, shopping\, and video games\, and their intended careers like nursing or software design.

Seminar Speaker Profiles: Prof. Po-Shen Loh at CMUProf Loh is a Math Professor at CMU. Po-Shen Loh is a social entrepreneur and inventor\, working across the spectrum of mathematics\, education\, and healthcare\, all around the world. He is a math professor at Carnegie Mellon University\, and served a decade-long term as the national coach of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad team from 2013–2023. He has pioneered innovations ranging from a scalable way to learn challenging math live online at comparable engagement to live-streaming entertainment\, to a new way to control pandemics by leveraging self-interest.   As an academic\, Po-Shen has earned distinctions ranging from an International Mathematical Olympiad silver medal to the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. His scientific research considers a variety of questions that lie at the intersection of combinatorics (the study of discrete systems)\, probability theory\, and computer science. As an educator\, he was the coach of Carnegie Mellon University’s math team when it achieved its first-ever #1 rank among all North American universities\, and the coach of the USA Math Olympiad team when it achieved its first-ever back-to-back #1-rank victories in 2015 and 2016\, and then again in 2018 and 2019. His research and educational outreach takes him to cities across the world\, reaching over 10\,000 people each year through public lectures and events\, and he has featured in or co-created videos totaling over 21 million YouTube views.   Po-Shen received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Caltech in 2004\, graduating with the highest GPA in his class. He received a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2005\, where he was supported by a Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship. He continued his studies at Princeton\, supported by a Hertz Foundation Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the end of 2009\, and has been on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University ever since.    Prof. Candace Walkington \, Annette and Harold Simmons Centennial Chair Professor at Southern Methodist University.  Dr. Walkington specializes in mathematics education. Her research examines how abstract mathematical ideas can become connected to students’ concrete\, everyday experiences and “funds of knowledge\,” such that mathematical ideas are more understandable.

As an educator\, he was the coach of Carnegie Mellon University’s math team when it achieved its first-ever #1 rank among all North American universities\, and the coach of the USA Math Olympiad team when it achieved its first-ever back-to-back #1-rank victories in 2015 and 2016\, and then again in 2018 and 2019. His research and educational outreach takes him to cities across the world\, reaching over 10\,000 people each year through public lectures and events\, and he has featured in or co-created videos totaling over 21 million YouTube views.   Po-Shen received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Caltech in 2004\, graduating with the highest GPA in his class. He received a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2005\, where he was supported by a Winston Churchill Foundation Scholarship. He continued his studies at Princeton\, supported by a Hertz Foundation Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship\, where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the end of 2009\, and has been on the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University ever since.    Prof. Candace Walkington \, Annette and Harold Simmons Centennial Chair Professor at Southern Methodist University.  Dr. Walkington specializes in mathematics education. Her research examines how abstract mathematical ideas can become connected to students’ concrete\, everyday experiences and “funds of knowledge\,” such that mathematical ideas are more understandable. She conducts research on “personalizing” mathematics instruction to students’ out-of-school interests in areas like sports\, music\, shopping\, and video games\, and their intended careers like nursing or software design.
