On Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, MathHappens joined Buda Library for the final event of their summer programming. 

MathHappens staff, Matt Hertel and Austin Bell traveled to the library to read, “Grandpa’s Quilt,” and with the help of library volunteers, Jessica, Liz, and Caitlin, guided two groups of 15-20 children through 3 fun mathematical activities. 

The kids had the opportunity to play with quilting tiles inspired by the story, colored their own miniature quilting tiles, and found multiple, unique ways to fill hexagon-shaped frames with 21st Century Pattern Blocks.

We look forward to more fun at Buda Library next summer!
