Twenty-eight students from Central High School in Omaha attended the Math Alive! exhibit at the Strategic Air & Space Museum in January.
Led by teacher and former NSF Noyce Teaching Fellow Brianna Pinquoch, the students were able to participate in the classroom experience as well as explore the different pieces on display. Pinquoch and fellow Central teacher Brent Larson said that the students absolutely loved the classroom that discussed coding and code breaking, and they could have extended the hour-long session for another hour!
MathAlive! is presented nationally by Raytheon. The exhibition was sponsored locally by Mutual of Omaha; First National Bank; Valmont Industries, Inc.; WOWT Channel 6-Omaha; the Dixon Family Foundation; Robert H. Storz Foundation; BNSF; Omaha Public Power District; Gallup; Allstate; HDR; Embassy Suites Omaha-La Vista; and US Bank.
The exhibit is now being shown in Wichita, Kan., until May 4.
