MoMath Museum Hosts: “Ask a Mathematician Anything!” – FREE Virtual Event

May 3, 2020 by Teresa Wang

MoMath Museum Hosts: "Ask a Mathematician Anything!" - FREE Virtual Event

 

Have you had a chance to visit the National Museum of Mathematics? If not, fear not; even though they are currently closed, they are offering a free and fun virtual workshop. Have you or your kids ever wanted to ask a mathematician something, maybe about a curious new idea you have, or a concept you’d like to understand better?  Don’t know whom to ask?  Here’s your chance!  MoMath’s Dean of Academic Content and Rutgers Math Professor Alex Kontorovich will host a free, one-hour session, to get all of those burning questions answered.

Come with your own questions, or just join to listen in.  All are welcome, and no question is too basic (although plenty may be too hard!).

FiDi Families Insiders: This event is free, but registration is required and the number of participants is limited.

Date: Thursday, May 7th

Time: 4pm (EDT)

RSVP: Required

For more information and to register, visit their website HERE.

Art Project: Support Frontline Workers with the 9/11 Memorial Museum & Stars of Hope USA

April 26, 2020 by Denise Courter

Art Project: Support Frontline Workers with the 9/11 Memorial Museum & Stars of Hope USA

 

Today would have been the 8th annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum 5kRun/Walk and Community Day in Lower Manhattan. It is an incredible event that we look forward to, every year. However, instead of hosting this amazing event, the 9/11 Memorial is encouraging families to show their support of frontline workers by decorating a Star of Hope. Download the printable HERE (link in our bio) and be sure to tag #StarsofHope to show your support.

  • Print out the Stars of HOPE paper template
  • Create your Star of HOPE using markers, crayons, pastels, chalks, and fun glittery stuff.
  • If you don’t have a printer, you can still create a virtual Star. Save the PDF below to your phone or desktop to “mark up” or use a program like Paint or Photoshop. Or just draw your own!
  • Post pictures of your Stars of HOPE on social media. Be sure to tag and share on Instagram or Facebook @911Memorial or Twitter @Sept11Memorial.

To learn more about the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and about their online virtual tours, be sure to visit their website HERE.

The Battery Playscape Groundbreaking Celebration – FREE

March 3, 2020 by Teresa Wang

 

The Battery invites the public to celebrate a new era of play with nature, self-expression, joy-filled puppets, hot chocolate and a ride on the SeaGlass Carousel! Across the path from the successful SeaGlass Carousel is The Battery Playscape, an innovative world of play and creativity designed and now being built by The Battery Conservancy (TBC). The new 1.5-acre Playscape triples the size of the current playground to respond to the growing number of Lower Manhattan families. Playscape elements are inspired by climate, sea, and wind. Rain gardens will filter urban runoff and serve as a global exemplar of sustainable playground design. It’s an amazing addition to the changing landscape of Lower Manhattan.

Date: Thursday, March 12th

Time: 10:00 am

Age(s): All ages welcome

Fee: Free to attend

FiDi Families Insiders: RSVP is required for this event: special.events@parks.nyc.gov

NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have tak NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have taken over Florida and we couldn’t be happier. Now I understand why they call Miami/FL “NY South”. We have been lucky to catch up with sooo many of our school families and friends. 

Grateful that our kids (and parents) get this socialization after a year of remote learning. 

Friends are the best gift ever. Memories of a lifetime. Grateful that we had the best weather, so many outdoor activities and expert mask-wearers.
