A collision of math and science: FSU hosts Math Fun Day, Circus of Physics
| Mon, 09/10/18
Ever wanted to see thermodynamics in action? Or learn how math can help break codes?
The Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics are hosting a joint open house that will explore the fun of both disciplines.
As part of Math Fun Day, kids can learn about code breaking, modeling and counting strategies through hands-on activities such as building 2-3D and 3-D fractals are learning how to play a killer game of tic-tac-toe. For the Circus of Physics, participants can watch a planetarium show, test their airplane flying skills or see an accelerator at work.
Activities are available for grades K-12, but students in kindergarten and first grade will need extra help.
Activities will be spread across two buildings on the FSU campus that are within walking distance of each other. The day will conclude with a public lecture
The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place:
