Bangalore Math Exhibition

I recently visited the math exhibition at Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan.


The amazing bubble experiment.

"Hands on Maths" has a collection of exhibits to entertain and teach visitors.Kids in the age group of 8 to 16 may find many of the exhibits very inspirational. There is something for people of all age groups to ponder on. If you are from an engineering or science background, chances are that you may have dealt with a lot of the concepts and may find it a tad redundant. If you are a math fanatic, and expects more on advanced math, you can safely avoid this. 

There are about 20 exhibits and puzzles that intrigue everyone. A gravity race, composing a symphony with random variables, etc. its very interactive and kids will love it. Its a subset of the 160 math exhibits from The “Mathematikum” from Giessen, Germany. A first of its kind math museum in the world. 

Must Visit For Kids

I really wish that the city had more of such events happening. It liberates people from mindless movies and watching cricket. (Didn't mean to upset anyone, but its true)
