Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, stopped by MoMath for some math fun! He rode the squareโ€‘wheeled tricycle and chatted with MoMathโ€™s own Cindy Lawrence about the beauty of math. Catch him as a math-loving grandpa in The Life of Chuck www.newyorker.com/magazine/tru...

A Detective's Guide to Graph Theory, a special presentation by AI Researcher at Microsoft Cambridge Rachel Lawrence (@rachel-law.bsky.social), was a success!

Students grades 6โ€“12 discovered key elements of graph theory in a night of fun activities.

Happy Fibonacci Day (1,1,2,3)! I recently had a free day in NYC and got the chance to visit the National Museum of Mathematics @momath.bsky.social, getting hands-on withย demonstrations of concepts as classic as the Pythagorean Theorem and as cutting-edge as the world's first aperiodic monotile!

Iโ€™ve always wanted to see @momath.bsky.social - itโ€™s full of brilliant exhibits, and it was an extra special privilege to deliver an event for families in their space! Definitely worth a visit for anyone who travels to NYC.
