We want your maths memes!<http://abcmail.net.au/t/2453709/2966147/60459/0/>


Splash is inviting all students in Australia with a knack for numbers to create a meme and send it to us as part of our DJ Decibel maths competition.<http://abcmail.net.au/t/2453709/2966147/60459/0/> The meme can be a joke involving maths or numbers, or can be a quote from Einstein, Newton or any other mathematician. We've got two $100 music vouchers to give away for the best entries! The competition<http://abcmail.net.au/t/2453709/2966147/60459/0/> closes Friday 12 December.
Plus, don't forget about the Recycle It competition,<http://abcmail.net.au/t/2453709/2966147/60460/0/> running until 16 December! There are 1000 worms and a worm farm to be won!

Chris Betcher argues in the latest Splash blog<http://abcmail.net.au/t/2453709/2966147/60456/0/> that computational thinking skills can have a far-reaching, positive impact on children and that they should be encouraged to start learning sooner rather than later.
