During “Mathematics: Twists, Turns and Surprises”, students will discover just how fun and surprising math can be. WWU mathematics specialists will lead students though an exploration of ancient and famous math problems and games, a math trail, conduct experiments with Moebius strips and figure out the math behind what seems like magic tricks.
Participants in the arts topic will uncover the hidden message of “What’s Behind THAT Mask?” During this art exploration, students will discover the colorful world of masks and the cultural meaning and stories behind them. After an examination of design and constructing techniques, students will create three different types of masks using various art forms and mediums.
The cost is $55 which includes instruction, supervision, materials, snacks and breakfast. For an additional $17, students may choose to participate in an extended recreation option the next morning, which includes rock wall climbing, swimming and field games. Students must be registered by Wednesday, Feb. 17 in order to participate, but spots fill quickly so early registration is recommended.
