Super Stellar Friday: PHUN with Math

January 2021
Join STEM instructor and senior Discovery Center educator David McDonald as he reveals some pretty neat aspects of math. Think math is hard and boring? You MUST check this out! Think math is the greatest language on Earth? You MUST check this out! We will explore fun patterns in numbers and patterns in nature that will amaze you. What could you do with a rope that circles Earth at the equator? How can you PROVE that 1 = 2? Like to play “Let’s Make a Deal?” I can guarantee I can help you to increase your chances of choosing the right door (you know the one with the car and not the goat) every time. Come one, come all, it's time for PHUN with MATH!
