Join us to discover the mathematics of all things geographical.
About this Event

In this interactive workshop, participants will uncover the hidden patterns and structures that shape our Earth. From exploring the geometry behind flight paths to looking at the fractal-like edges of coastlines and how mathematicians can help measure them.

Through a series of hands-on activities, participants will measure, model and visualise geography in new ways, investigating patterns in populations and discovering the maths and data of the world around them like never before.

For children who have just completed Years 3 and 4 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 7–9 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
