We had fun welcoming back Ms. Mardi Nott along with a new group of students from Austin High School. Their field trip consisted of touring the museum, including the La Belle exhibit, and spending time with MathHappens to learn about how navigation relates to mathematics. We had two groups of about 30 students, each for an hour. The students split

We had lots of fun taking our math activities to International High School. The premise: About 150 students went on a field trip while all the other students were taking their STAAR test. However, the field trip was only about a half-day. So our job was to bring math activities to give the students something to do while they spent

Last month we concluded another successful group of MathHappens Remote internships. We had 4 students participating from UCLA, NC State, Texas Woman’s University, and Queen’s University in Toronto. At our headquarters in Austin we rely on interns to help with our mission and everyday tasks. Interns design and make new models, attend local events, and spend time assembling models to

This list is both incomplete and growing, but we’ll continue to add and share. We are interested in helping any organization interested in sponsoring programs, installations and events that bring mathematics to the public conversation, increase access to learning and provide more pathways to positive engagement and success in mathematics and STEM. This is a busy table runner! And it represents

Riley is participating in the MathHappens Foundation 2022 remote internship program. Internships are posted with Parker Dewey where students from all over the United States can access a range of micro-internships. Our remote internship program (Program Sequence here) includes a maker kit, making several MathHappens Projects and completing an outreach assignment. Work is very independent so initiative, persistence and adaptation

We don’t normally go into schools for regular programming, but this was a special event and almost like an in school field trip with lots of rotations. We brought activities for 2nd graders, 3rd graders and 4th graders. 3rd graders explored designing with mirror books, 2nd graders worked with Koch fractals and Golden Ratio tiles and the 4th graders
