Our partner, Math for America, is hosting this event.
Symmetry plays a vital role in our understanding of patterns, molecular structures, architecture, art, and physical systems. In this master class, participants will explore the unifying concepts of symmetry through its many expressions—from M.C. Escher’s art to everyday objects—while also creating collaborative works of art based on symmetrical principles.
