Unlimited, MoMath’s Mix-n-Mingle: Rhythm, Harmony, and Form: Pop Music and the Fibonacci Sequence

Sun Mar 16, 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. 

Mathematical patterns naturally appear everywhere — even in music! Whether it’s intentional or not, songwriters often create music in which we can find the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. Learn how these mathematical concepts show up in some pop songs you know. Does this increase their impact and give them more emotional power? Discuss how math lends music harmony and beauty, discover that math and music aren’t so different, and hear some great songs along the way!

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.
