Mathematics, often likened to Marmite, draws a clear divide between enthusiasts and skeptics. But fear not! This course is designed for everyone, regardless of where you stand on the love-hate spectrum. Whether you've been petrified of the subject or just mildly anxious, this is your chance to rewrite your relationship with maths.
Join us in a vibrant and inclusive environment where sharing your stories is not only encouraged but celebrated. Let's dive into the depths of your mathematical experiences, unpacking the roots of your fears and discovering hidden potentials along the way.

We're flipping the script on the age-old stigma surrounding maths, ready to reveal the hidden maths whiz within you.

It's time to break free from the fear and loathing!
