Julia Robinson Math Festival at UCB

At the Julia Robinson Math Festival, students in grades 6-12 will test their brainpower and enjoy a hands-on experience covering a wide variety of math topics.  Students will circulate among activity tables where teachers, professors, graduate students, and others will engage the kids as they use their math skills on puzzles, games, and problems. Students will be rewarded for their creativity and persistence with raffle tickets for prizes such as books and games.  Previous festivals have been wildly popular with students who attended and their parents!

The Math Festival will take place form 9am-noon on the UC Berkeley campus, in the Pauley Ballroom in the MLK Jr. Student Union, which is located at 2475 Bancroft Way (where Telegraph Avenue meets the UCB campus).

Cost: $10 fee or FREE, if a waiver is requested.
