Here’s a nice thing: in memory of Maryam Mirzakhani, Amir Asghari has set up Mathematics 4 Maryams, a site with the aim of inspiring and motivating future Maryams by linking them with “maths mates”.

Tim Gowers says it’s

a website in memory of Maryam Mirzahkani. I don’t mean that it is a memorial website: rather, it has taken an important aspect of her life — her interaction with other like-minded mathematicians at a young age — and aims to facilitate such interactions for others, by the setting up of maths4maryams groups.

In short, you sign up to the website, either start or join a group, and solve maths problems together. In particular, they’re proposing Mirzakhani’s birthday, the 12th of May, as “Mathematics Friendship Day”, when friends solve maths problems together.
