SUMMARY
Thes Ciência Viva Awards are awarded annually in recognition of interventions of exceptional merit in the dissemination of science and technology in Portugal. With a ceremony held on November 27, 2020, at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento-Centro Ciência Viva, the 2020 Science Alive Education Award distinguished the National Mathematical Games Championship for promoting concentration and logical reasoning in a playful way, essential for learning mathematics, and for its efforts towards social inclusion, visible in the creation of a category for blind and partially sighted students.
Awards are a mark of merit and, consequently, this recognition is received with pleasure and pride. However, what is overwhelmingly more important is the merit itself, which is why, rather than providing a brief report, we intend to make a brief “visit” to the National Mathematical Games Championship, so that it is possible to understand the reason for such a fair award.
