The Department of Mathematics is participating in SciFest with a non-stop activity!
On Thursday and Friday, the event is open to school classes, and on Saturday everyone curious is welcome – young and old alike. You will find us at stand no. 12. Bring family and friends!
Practise mathematics through origami. Fold flowers, animals, and geometric shapes, solve origami puzzles, and discover how paper can be transformed into both art and mathematics. The activity is suitable for all ages – you can fold freely, follow instructions, or explore how folding connects to concepts such as symmetry, solids, and patterns. Combine creativity with curiosity for mathematics!
