Some of the folks joining us in the display area or booth, or
presenting with us, were not actually Math Forum or KenKen
staff. These are collaborators from around the US and Canada
who have been working closely with us in our online workshops,
onsite professional development, and online professional
development courses. A big thank-you to you all!
