Stop by our Maker Hub to build your own Möbius Strip, a mathematical object that has long fascinated mathematicians and artists alike. Get creative as you decorate your strip, and use pencils, scissors and tape to explore the mysteries and surprises that Möbius Strips hold.

Pi Recitation Contest
Pi’s digits are infinite, but how many of them can your memory hold? Join us for a walk-in Pi recitation contest! Take the mic and see how many digits you can name by heart or stop by and watch as others show off their love for pi and their memorization skills. This contest is open to all ages and skill levels.
