Good Day at the SDMC

We had our second meeting of the high school group at the SDMC today. Now that we have more rooms, I'm hoping to find a couple more instructors and host the high school group more frequently. It's an excellent group - I taught invariants today and interesting observations came from all over the room (which had 31 students).
And, as for the future of the SDMC, we had 45 students show up for a meeting of our youngest students (roughly grades 5-7). We're settling in to a very nice size for the Math Circle. Now to find a couple more instructors. . .
At times last year, we wondered if the SDMC was really worth the effort we were putting in to it. Now that we've enlisted the help of the parents in recruiting and organizing and raising money, I think it is clearly worth it. We often preach the value of establishing culture. It's pretty cool to watch one form. We even have a group of professors at UCSD who volunteered to host Sunday classes for those who can't make it on Saturdays. Very cool.
