Emory University’s Math Circle program will host a Julia Robinson Math Festival next Saturday, September 2.

The event targets middle- and high-school students who love math. Students go from table to table, trying out a range of games and puzzles which tend to focus on math concepts more than numerical computation. I attended this event with my kids some years ago, and found it to be challenging yet approachable and fun.

The math festival will be held in the atrium of the Math and Science Center from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Families are welcome to drop in late and/or leave early.

Admission to the festival is free; however, advance registration is requested.
