NYC Math Festival 2020 Now Online

July 16, 2020 by Teresa Wang

What do logic puzzles, mime, rap music, magic tricks, and origami have in common?  Enjoy them all at the NYC Math Festival on Saturday, July 18, between 2:00 pm and 8:15 pm EDT (New York), with a pre-festival slideshow starting at 1:30 pm EDT (New York).  For the first time ever, this NYC-based festival will be online and accessible to everyone around the world!

Mathematical delights await.  Kickstart your brain with a “Brainteaser Kahoot” challenge, or work out a logic puzzle with a retired pro football player and mathematician.  Learn a mathemagical card trick from a Fields medalist that you can use on your friends, and watch as a former world record holder awes you by solving a Rubik’s Cube with his feet in under 20 seconds.

Space in this year’s NYC Math Festival is limited.  Registration will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.  One price is good for all family members who reside in a single household and who will watch from a single computer connection.  All attendees may enter and exit events throughout the day.

See the full schedule and register for the festival at nycmath.momath.org.

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
