My thoughts about SmartPool:
“Smartpool is a perfect fusion of pool and mathematics. Bringing our sport to the kids and not depending on the kids coming to us is the future.”
Wil Schilders (EU Maths-In/ PWN)
President
My thoughts about SmartPool:
“European industry is in high demand of smart young people that are eager to apply mathematics to the many industrial challenges we have in this complex world. Via Smartpool, we expect that students are triggered to dive deeper into mathematics.”
Amika Singh (Mulier Institute)
Senior Researcher
My thoughts about SmartPool:
“Combining movement and educational content contributes to students’ enjoyment. SmartPool is an interesting example of a programme that combines movement with maths.

My thoughts about SmartPool:
“The goal of the Smartpool approach is to make mathematics more understandable, accessible and fun for students and to introduce them to billiards. From our experience I can say that this works with Smartpool”
Tommi Lamminaho (SBL)
Representative Finnish billiard federation
My thoughts of SmartPool:
”Improving young people’s knowledge and understanding of mathematics and physics through billiards. Creating a new and innovative learning environment will strengthen mathetics teaching in Finland as well as participation in billiards.”
Lukas Blondeel (DBU)
Youth Director
My thoughts about SmartPool:
„SmartPool is a great chance to change peoples mind about their image of our beloved billiard sport. Moreover it underlines that two supposedly different kind of subjects could be well combined.“

My thoughts about SmartPool:
“SmartPool for Cyprus is a classic example of a scalable solution to schools, since it costs real money to acquire but once it is out there it attracts players with relatively minimal cost increase for the host. Highly scalable solutions usually grow exponentially. Every acquired player is expected to bring more than 1 new player to try the SmartPool. The Cyprus Sports Association and the Ministry of Education in Cyprus are supporting this idea, and have already responded positively that they want to collaborate with CPBF and establish SmartPool into their schools.“
