I want to get some ideas for events which can be organized for undergraduate students in a university. I have organized a math treasure-hunt and some problem-solving events in the past but I want to do something new this time.

I'm sorry if this question is too vague/doesn't suit the standard guidelines. Looking forward to some help.

  • I don't know what you mean by "a college-level MathFest" (recreational activities between undergraduate presentations? activities for an end-of-the-year celebration?), but I would look into the possibility of inviting people from your community (or within a couple hours driving distance) who majored in math and who are working in areas that their math background has some relevance to their job tasks. – Dave L.

  • Its more like the latter. I want to put up some interesting/challenging competitions. – Hyperbola Jan 24 '14 at 16:32

You may be interested in looking at what was done by the students in a Math Capstone course of the host college for the most recent Iowa MAA Section meeting (October 2013; I was there). It was a game they called Survivor X, and you can find some things about it by googling "Survivor X" Wartburg. I think the Math Capstone course was taught by Mariah Birgen (at WartBurg College), but I'm not certain. However, I am sure that she could tell you more about it if you are interested.
