2019 Festival Schedule
Thank you for joining us at the 2019 National Math Festival on Saturday, May 4th, 2019! A huge thank you to everyone who attended the National Math Festival events in Washington, DC and all the satellite events at science museums in 40 states around the U.S. We loved meeting you, learning about your math journeys and discoveries, playing games together, and celebrating the limitless power and joy of math as a community.
The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and our collaborators at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) and the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) thank you for your support and contributions to making the day a wonderful success. Share your photos with us on social media using #2019NMF.
