The Gate2Math (G2M) Project proudly announces the successful completion of Stage 1 of the Users’ International Challenge (UIC). The first phase, which ended on February 14th, 2025, saw enthusiastic participation from educators, researchers, and students. Participants submitted innovative Open Educational Resources (OER) that will contribute to the growing G2M Smart Library, promoting high-quality, freely accessible math education materials. We congratulate all participants and winners of the Stage 1 for their outstanding contributions and encourage everyone to stay tuned for the Stage 2!

Stage 2 is now open – join the challenge!

Advancing the Gate2Math Smart Library Platform

On January 30, 2025, the seminar “How to Make Mathematics Teaching More Effective for Engineers?” was held at the University of Life Sciences in Tartu. The event brought together mathematics educators from higher education institutions across Estonia.

As part of the seminar, a workshop was conducted where representatives from Tallinn University and TTK University of Applied Sciences introduced participants to the Gate2Math project and provided updates on the development of the Smart Library platform.

Attendees were also invited to join a community dedicated to creating open educational resources.
