Unlimited

MoMath’s mix-n-mingle program for middle and high school students

Featuring a special program
“Clocks, Chords, and Counting: Exploring
Hidden Structures of Mathematics through the Number 12”

with MOST Fellow Juliana Bukoski

Sunday, December 15
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
(in person+drop-off)

All students must be signed in and out by an adult chaperone.  Students 16 and older with proof of ID may be granted an exception.

 

Middle and high school students, come indulge in an evening of mathematical (and parent-free!) fun at MoMath’s mix-n-mingle program.  Explore dynamic exhibits and enjoy fun, hands-on mathematical activities designed with you in mind.  Vibe with a peer group that thinks math is cool, and don’t miss the chance to boogie down on New York City’s only interactive, light-up Voronoi dance floor.  After your math adventure, stay for boundless cookies and hot cocoa!

Unlimited in December will begin promptly at 6:30 pm with a special program brought to you by the Mathematics Outreach Seminar and Training (MOST) program.

“Clocks, Chords, and Counting: Exploring hidden structures of mathematics through the number 12” featuring MOST Fellow Juliana Bukoski
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!

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 Unlimited 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 Unlimited 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 Unlimited sessions and/or we will try to not include your child in photos, if possible.

Appropriate behavior: All Unlimited 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 Unlimited events, no refund or credit will be issued.

In the event of an emergency: To urgently reach the Unlimited 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.
