On March 13, the’Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) was the setting for a notable gathering for the Catalan mathematical community, on the occasion of the presentation of the official T-shirt of the Kangaroo Test 2025.
The event was attended by prominent figures from the academic and mathematical world:
- Àngel Messeguer, general secretary of the Institute of Catalan Studies.
- Meike Akweld, president of AKSF (Kangourou Sans Frontières Association).
- Marta Berini, representative of the Kangaroo Commission-Catalan Society of Mathematics.
- Montserrat Alsina, president of the SCM (Catalan Society of Mathematics).
A T-shirt that symbolizes the passion for mathematics
One of the most special moments of the gathering was the presentation of the official T-shirt for the 2025 Kangaroo Test. This iconic element represents not only the competitive and playful spirit of the test, but also the commitment of thousands of students who participate year after year in this mathematical contest.
The presentation was attended by primary, secondary, and high school students, the true protagonists of this event, who had the opportunity to show their enthusiasm and involvement in the mathematical challenge.
The Kangaroo Test: promoting mathematics among young people
The Kangaroo Test, organized by the Catalan Society of Mathematics, is an international mathematical competition that challenges students from different educational levels with engaging and stimulating problems. This initiative, promoted by AKSF (Kangourou Sans Frontières), aims to foster interest in mathematics and strengthen its presence in education in an attractive and dynamic way.
With gatherings like this, the Catalan Society of Mathematics reaffirms its commitment to the dissemination and promotion of mathematics, bringing them closer to students and fostering an active and passionate mathematical community.
There is less time left for the 2025 Kangaroo Test! Thanks to all participants, organizers, and collaborators for making this great celebration of mathematics possible.
