This series is appropriate for students in middle school and high school, but undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in the Mathematics Outreach Seminar and Training (MOST) program are welcome to attend to learn more.

The MOST program provides early-career female mathematicians with professional development and speaking opportunities to advance and inspire others through math outreach.  To learn more about the MOST program, visit most.momath.org.  This program is funded by Simons Foundation International and administered by the Simons Foundation’s Science, Society & Culture division.

Upcoming presentation

“Clocks, Chords, and
Counting: Exploring Hidden Structures of Mathematics
Through the Number 12”

Featuring MOST Fellow Juliana Bukoski

Sunday, December 15
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm ET

(in person + drop-off)

Twelve hours on a clock, twelve inches in a foot, twelve donuts in a dozen — why do we measure so many things in 12s?  Learn how to count by 12s, investigate the special mathematical properties of 12, and even discover how those properties relate to the music we listen to every day!

Join MoMath for a special session of Unlimited — the mix-n-mingle series for teens and tweens — on Sunday, December 15 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, featuring Georgetown College mathematician Juliana Bukoski.  After your math adventure, stay for boundless cookies and hot cocoa!

This series is appropriate for students in middle school and high school, but undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in the MOST program are welcome to attend to learn more.

Parents, save up to 20% at local restaurants during the two-hour session with special discount deals.

This is a students-only drop-off program.   Please see the program policies below.

“Knot So Simple”

Featuring MOST Fellow Lizzie Buchanan

Sunday, January 26
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm ET

(in person + drop-off)

Knots are for more than tying your shoes!  Some mathematicians think about knots all day long.  Explore the math of knots, discover how doodling and coloring can give us surprisingly simple answers to big questions, and learn how even some simple-sounding problems continue to keep mathematicians stumped!

Join MoMath for a special session of Unlimited — the mix-n-mingle series for teens and tweens — on Sunday, January 26 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, featuring University of Iowa mathematician Lizzie Buchanan.  After your math adventure, stay for boundless cookies and hot cocoa!

“Quantum Keys and No More Spies:
How Qubits Secure Our Ties”

Featuring MOST Fellow Sarah Chehade

Sunday, February 23
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm ET

(in person + drop-off)

How do you keep your secrets?  In a quantum world, secrets are protected by mathematical physics; quantum encryption is nearly unbreakable, thanks to special mathematical properties like superposition and entanglement.  Whether you’re brand new to quantum concepts or just curious about the quantum future, join us for an introduction to the fascinating world of qubits and quantum cryptography.

This special session of Unlimited — the mix-n-mingle series for teens and tweens — will take place on Sunday, February 23 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, featuring Oak Ridge National Laboratory quantum computation researcher Sarah Chehade.  After your math adventure, stay for boundless cookies and hot cocoa!

Program Policies

Students must be dropped off and picked up by an adult chaperone (with one exception at MoMath’s discretion): An adult chaperone (a parent, guardian, or other designated provider) must be present to sign in/out each student.  The adult chaperone must provide a mobile number to be contacted in the event of an emergency during the event.  Students cannot sign themselves in for the event nor self-dismiss, and curbside drop-offs and pick-ups cannot be accommodated.  An exception to this policy may be granted, at MoMath’s sole discretion, to registered attendees ages 16 and older who can show proof of age with a valid photo ID. (MoMath reserves the right to revoke any exceptions previously granted at any time, should any concerns arise about the safety and security of the event and its participants or for any reason.)

This is strictly a students-only event: For the safety and security of the event attendees, only registered students and MoMath event staff and volunteers will be admitted into the event space — there are no exceptions.  For unregistered guests, a publicly accessible restroom is available in Madison Square Park, which is conveniently located across the street from the Museum.  During the event, adults may stand in the lobby or leave the Museum to return no later than 8:30 pm to pick up their child(ren).  If you intend to pick up your child before the event ends, it is recommended that you inform a MoMath staff member at drop-off as well as coordinate directly with your child via their mobile so that your child knows to come to the lobby at the designated time.

MoMath’s photography and media releases: By registering for this event, all participants inherently agree to the terms and conditions of MoMath’s standard photograph permission and release form.  All participants of any event at MoMath must agree to these terms.  If you would like to request that your child is not photographed during an event, please discuss this at drop-off with the manager in charge.  While MoMath may not be able to accommodate all requests, it is uncommon for MoMath to take event photographs of sessions and/or we will try to not include your child in photos, if possible.

Appropriate behavior: All students and adult chaperones are expected to exhibit good behavior and compliance with program policies to ensure a positive experience for everyone.  At its sole discretion, MoMath may remove a student from the event for behavioral reasons or for noncompliance with policies and their parent/guardian will be contacted for immediate pick-up.  If a student is removed from the event, for either a single event or for all future events, no refund or credit will be issued.

In the event of an emergency: To urgently reach the event staff during the event, you may call (520) 432-0958.  For non-urgent or all other matters, please contact MoMath at (212) 542-0566 during regular business hours or email functions@momath.org.
