Volunteers

Participants

Lead an activity table with a logic game, puzzle or math art

We are excited to invite you to be a part of the Central Florida Math Festival hosted by the Orlando Math Circle. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to lead logic games and puzzles that will engage and inspire participants of all ages. Your involvement will play a crucial role in fostering a love for mathematics and logical thinking while helping to build a community of problem solvers.

Role Description

As a Logic Game or Puzzle Facilitator, you will:
• Choose a logic game or puzzle from our provided list or propose your own.
• Attend a one-hour online facilitator training.
• Prepare and facilitate the activity during the festival.
• Engage with participants of all ages, encouraging them to play with your activity, think critically, and have fun. You will not be giving away winning strategies but helping people discover them.
• Ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all attendees.

Group Participation

• Activities can be led by school groups, organizations, or university clubs not just individuals. For example, a Girl Scout troop or a high school Key Club can lead a math art snowflake activity or several math art activities.
• Volunteers who come as a group will have the opportunity to participate in the event and explore other activities by taking turns facilitating at the activity table.
