**UPDATE** - 18/01/2014
Thank you to everyone who came to #mathsmeetnorthwest and helped support us along the way (you know who you are!). It's been a great event and we're already thinking about how we can improve it for the next one! All presentations will be emailed out in due course or hosted somewhere (we're having problems fitting them all in an email!)
For now, thanks again.
David, Hannah, and Leon

Following the success of #TMNorthwest, LJMU students have decided to organise a STEM focused teachmeet:
#mathsmeetnorthwest.
We're incredibly excited about sharing our ideas and hearing about everyone else's! Whether you fancy being an enthusiastic lurker or you're interested in presenting, come along and join in! Simply click on the 'Get Tickets' button on the right hand side of the page and select which ticket you'd like, it's free and takes seconds! You can view who's already attending by clicking 'View Attendees' on the right.
If you aren't familiar, teachmeets are informal gatherings of teachers, coming together to share ideas and enthusiasm. It's also a fantastic opportunity for networking! For a quick overview of #TMnorthwest - the event that inspired us - click: http://frog.calderstones.co.uk/index.phtml?d=1347457
For those who'd like to present, please include your presentation topic in the box provided (or simply put TBC if unsure). Topics should ideally be STEM focused, but any ideas which can help improve teaching are welcome! (Presentations should be no longer than 5 minutes long).
We'll keep you updated with our progress along the way, but for now... Let's spread the word! Get Hashtagging on twitter with #mathsmeetnorthwest!
Feel free to follow the hosts @dave_maths, @Miss_DuffyMaths and @teachdoyle for regular updates!
