About the event
Step into the world of "Stellar Mechanics," where geometry comes to life through code, curves, and kinetic motion. You will begin by cracking the secret Schläfli code to map out complex star polygons, then master the tools of the trade by using strings and pencils to trace the graceful geometry of circles and ellipses. The adventure culminates in a hands-on construction workshop, where you’ll fold and assemble your very own custom spinning star—a perfect blend of artistic origami and mechanical wonder that proves geometry is anything but static.
Ages 8+.
