  • Celebration of Mind

    G4G has been holding virtual Celebration of Mind lectures on the 21st of each month since October 2020 and we will continue to do so. On our website you will find information about this worldwide celebration and how to host an event. There are all types of resources for hosts, including dozens of new videos. Whether you have a small event at your home or a larger one at your school, we hope you will include it in the calendar. These gatherings are a wonderful way to celebrate Martin Gardner’s birthday!

  • Passing of Max Maven

    It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of Max Maven on November 1, 2023. In the words of long time G4Ger Mark Mitton: “Max will be missed.  He was a most clever and generous friend to so many.” We are currently setting up a G4G tribute page, any contributions in form of pictures, anecdotes and stories are very welcome and can be sent to support@g4gfoundation.org.
