Bugfest is the signature annual event for the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science. A special section called The Math Neighborhood was organized by Maria Droujkova. And MathHappens’ own Matt Hertel made the trip to participate in this huge event.
Matt brought a selection of MathHappens’ favorite puzzles and activities as well as activities related to bugs, the Butterfly Tessellating Pentagon Puzzle with butterfly pendants to decorate and keep, and a Voroni stained glass craft. Matt even brought a field microscope so visitors could see the Voronoi like regions in a dragonfly wing for themselves!
