MoMath: Family Fridays — Build a Hat Tiling

225 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010

You may have heard about the newest discovery in mathematics: the Hat tile.  Now be part of history in the making by assembling a giant Hat Tile Floor at MoMath!  Will it be a world record?  The group construction will be led by MoMath’s Outreach Mathematician, Chaim Goodman-Strauss, one of the team members that brought the Hat, the first “aperiodic monotile,” to the world.  This shape can be fit together to cover a never-ending surface – but only in a way that will never exactly repeat!

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.
