We welcome all 8–12th graders with an interest in math and who like to learn new ideas through interactive exploration! The sessions cover novel and entertaining uses of math. They are not a continuation of the usual school curriculum, so no particular prior knowledge is needed. Light refreshments will be served.

This Month's Topic

"Cup Stacking—It’s not what you think!" with Dr. Glenn Hurlbert

Many of you may have seen, or even tried, the sport of cup stacking, in which speed and dexterity are essential. But our version is played on a graph, where it becomes a puzzle, one which we're not always sure has a solution. No need to BYOC, we've got you covered. Just be ready to stack!
