Ever wondered, “Will I ever use all this math in real life?”

Well, now you can find out at “MathAlive!”, an interactive experience now on display at the Science Museum of Virginia.

Packed with 30+ hands-on activities, this touring exhibit is perfect for future mathematicians ages 7-14.

Hear from skateboarders, computer scientists, weather forecasters, and more as they share how math:

  • Strikes a chord in music
  • Equates to big wins in sports
  • Multiplies the magic in movies
  • Powers up your favorite video games
  • And pushes the limits of what’s possible

Speaking of limits, whether you’re racing through a live-action 3D snowboard race, capturing 360-degree videos, navigating a robot rally, or creating your own dance beats — you’ll see how math can take you to the nth degree of fun.
