MoMath: Family Fridays

The National Museum of Mathematics at 225 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010

We live in a three-dimensional world dominated by shapes.  Join mathematician Kevin Bowman for a hands-on experience in which you will build a variety of three-dimensional shapes and learn how to look at them through the eyes of a mathematician.  As you encounter the mathematics used, you will discover how shapes can arise from unexpected situations and how they can even be hidden right in plain sight.  And finally, with your newfound knowledge, you will look around and discover that, indeed, there are only seven different sorts of solids.

Family Fridays is designed to bring family members of all ages together to enjoy a diverse array of engaging mathematical activities, promoting interest and enthusiasm among kids and adults alike.

Thanks to the generous support of Two Sigma, this program is free to attendees.
