MathAlive! is designed to inspire, spark the imagination and reveal math at work. This interactive and inspiring exhibit, currently at the Smithsonian, is coming to the Strategic Air & Space Museum in Ashland on Sept. 21 and will be open through Jan. 12.
One of the most interactive and inspiring exhibitions exploring the world of mathematics ever to tour, MathAlive! is designed for families and students and brings to life the real math behind what kids love most – video games, sports, fashion, music, robotics, and more.
In this 5,000 square foot exhibition, you’ll ride a snowboard in a 3D experience, design (and play) your own video game, capture your 360-degree image in a unique interactive, jump into a fractal dance party, even design a custom skateboard for “pop” – the quick, snapping motion that allows a board to do the best tricks. Through nearly 40 unique, interactive experiences, the exhibit takes math from its native form into the applied worlds of design, engineering, technology and science.
