The evening will feature mathematical art, a conversation with the honorees, and an entertaining look at the study of chaos — a focus of Professor Strogatz’s research — as well as plenty of good food, drink, and conviviality. gala.momath.org SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18 MoMaths Tensegrity Maxed Out at Madison Square Park Kids Fest 11:00 am - 2:00 pm Join MoMath in Madison Square Park on October 18 for Kids Fest! While you’re enjoying the fun fall festivities, you can drop by MoMath’s Tensegrity Maxed Out to create cool, colorful constructions. Using the forces of tension and compression, learn how to twist sticks and rubber bands into freestanding structures where the sticks never touch. madisonsquarepark.org/kids/kids-fest Cross Product: High Resolution 3D Printing Workshop 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Enjoy a hands-on experience with resin-based 3D printers, which use lasers to turn liquid resin into solid 3D-printed objects! Make a more intricate, detailed model than would be possible with other desktop 3D-printing technology. During the workshop, you will design a unique trigonometric sphere and follow it through each stage of the 3D-printing process. In addition to taking home the 3D-printed object itself, you will learn how to make and submit similar 3D models suitable for inexpensively printing in metal through online services. No prior experience with 3D printing is required. 3D.momath.org
