Community Outreach

Sharing the joy and beauty of the mathematics, EAGL has engages the Valley community with workshops and presenations. During each outreach activity our goal is the same, to provide each student with a different perspective on math, teaching them that it is not just a bunch of numbers and memorized rules, rather mathematics is fascinating, engaging, beautiful and human. One of our recent projects that is a perfect example of this is the Hyperbolic Crochet Project. We are also presently running workshops called Your teachers are lying to you and You can count on monsters, in addition to developing a new project Topology Magic Show.
