Coffee, Cookies and Voronoi Diagrams

Making “stained glass” Voronoi art

We provided the Clifton Institute with some information and supplies for a Voronoi session for their mathematics program.

Here’s the whole quote: People seemed to really love having a weekly series where they could come, listen to a 30-40 minute lecture, and then do a corresponding craft.  It was also a great insight into how strongly grading and judgement permeates us, as even 75-year-old participants were stressed about doing their voronoi tessellations just right.  It required lots of reassurance that TRYING is all that matters, not the prettiness or accuracy of your stained glass.
