Unlimited, MoMath’s Mix-n-Mingle: Inflating Knowledge: How Math Models the World Around Us

Sat Nov 8, 2025
6:30pm to 8:30pm ET
Age: Middle and High School Students
Price: $10
Location:
National Museum of Mathematics

Middle and high school students can indulge in an evening of mathematical (and parent-free!) fun at MoMath’s mix-n-mingle program. 

Mathematician and MOST Fellow Carli Peterson shows tweens and teens how rates of change shape the world around us — starting with something as simple as inflating a balloon. Build a mathematical model from scratch, connect it to real-life problems in fields like medicine and agriculture, and see how math can help us understand everything from disease spread to crop growth.

Plus, explore dynamic exhibits, enjoy fun, hands-on mathematical exploration, and boogie down on New York City’s only interactive, light-up Voronoi dance floor, all with a peer group that thinks math is cool.

Register online in advance.

An adult chaperone (a parent, guardian, or other designated provider) must be present to sign in/out each student. The adult chaperone must provide a mobile number to be contacted in the event of an emergency during the event. Students cannot sign themselves in for the event nor self-dismiss, and curbside drop-offs and pick-ups cannot be accommodated. Exceptions may be made for students over 16 with ID.
