This workshop will be held at the Chinle campus of NTU. Google maps displays two locations for this. The correct one is a bit south of Chinle off of highway 191. Turn East on 102 and drive to a brown 2-story building. We were in room 117.

This workshop will feature Henry Fowler (NTU), and Gordon Hamilton (Math Pickle).
Professional development credit certificates and $100 stipends were offered for this workshop.
To receive these you must register below, have a W9 on file, and sign the check-in page at the workshop. If you have questions reach out to us at navajomath@gmail.com or 785 473 0273 (call or text).
Funding for this workshop was provided by MIT, the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation, and the Kansas State University Foundation. Henry Fowler was going to run a session titled “Using a Dine’ Hogan to explore algebraic expressions,” but he was just asked to serve as the Graduate Dean for NTU, so he is not available. We’ll get him to give this presentation in the future.
Full session descriptions are posted below.
