AIMS exhibition stand at festivals aims to showcase the work of AIMS to the broader community in South Africa, foster excitement in the wonder of mathematics, and inspire more young people to pursue STEM studies and careers. The stand features hands-on activities, posters and presentations to showcase research conducted at AIMS and the importance of mathematical sciences and their application in everyday life. The exhibition served as an information desk about AIMS programmes (e.g., postgraduate training, scientific research and public science engagement), and opportunities for graduates, learners, teachers, academics, researchers and the general public.
