Will my relationship work out? Can we predict the weather? What about the rise and fall of populations, or the formation of a memory? Can we answer these questions using math? Perhaps... Join us for a crash course on dynamical systems to see for yourself! Put simply, a dynamical system is a set of mathematical equations that describe the evolution of something over time. We will cover some basics necessary to understand and analyze dynamical systems, then we will look at some of their (in our opinion) very interesting modeling applications in real life.

Come for a chill hour of origami! We’ll be teaching various models, including a modular cube, butterflies, or a squirrel!

So, u think u know puzzles? think again! we’ll be running an interactive workshop introducing you to Puzzlehunt puzzles — instruction-Less puzzles in the style of escape rooms — and common mechanics And techniques for Solving them. then, you’ll Have time to work on fun puzzles we provide (will u b able to piece together the final answer?)
