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

More than 250 years ago, people in the city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia) asked a question about their seven bridges: Is it possible to cross every bridge in the town exactly once without retracing any steps? No one could figure out how to do it. Learn how this simple puzzle led to two brand new kinds of mathematics: graph theory and topology, which help study connections and networks. Along the way, learn how to turn real-world problems into mathematical ones, discover the power of a well-posed question, and even prove why some puzzles have no solution at all. Get ready to think like a mathematician and walk through history — without getting lost.

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.
