| == Activities in the Maths Village == | | == Activities in the Maths Village == |
| | | We're planning lots of things. We'll post confirmed things here. If you want to get involved in organising Maths Village things, contact [[User:MScroggs|Scroggs]] or Katie. |
| === Things We're Already in Progress on Planning ===
| |
| ==== Maths Zine Printer ====
| |
| * Katie is sourcing components and building a zine selection box with buttons
| |
| * Scroggs has a receipt printer and can do code for it
| |
| * Zine content to be sourced from workshop on 12th April: https://mathszines-emf.eventbrite.co.uk
| |
| ==== Kaleidocycle Photo Booth ====
| |
| * Ayliean wants to make a photo booth that takes a photo of you and prints it on a kaleidocycle
| |
| * Lisa has a wooden photo booth frame, plus hopefully printer and screen
| |
| * 'One day hack' (Scroggs' words) to build the thing (based on something like https://christianp.github.io/hexaflexagon/)
| |
| * Finished net should fit 2-up on A4
| |
| * Can run a workshop for people to assemble them if people want help
| |
| ==== Circle Theorems Badge Workshop ====
| |
| * Katie has a badge maker
| |
| * Alison is happy to run a workshop on Circle Theorems
| |
| * Alison will also sketch out some designs for badges of the circle theorems, which Katie can prep/print
| |
| * People make and take away a badge of their favourite circle theorem at the end
| |
| * Katie will need to check stock of badge making bits and bring printouts, colouring in stuff etc
| |
| * Satisfying thunk noise/big handle, deeply enjoyable
| |
| | |
| === Things that should be able to happen with a minimum of planning ===
| |
| ==== Maths Busking Workshop ====
| |
| * Teach some people to do some maths busking tricks
| |
| * Who can then come back and practice them to people who are queuing for...
| |
| ==== Maths Face Painting ====
| |
| * Run it as last time
| |
| * Provide entertainment to people waiting in the queue
| |
| * Amy is happy to do painting again, will be able to set up 2/3 tables with people painting (could be clever and put two sets of kit out on shared tables in the middle and have 4 painting stations)
| |
| ==== MathsCity Dome Kits ====
| |
| * Katie can pick these up in the van on her way down
| |
| * Max can run workshops as needed
| |
| * Lisa to laser cut and sell tiny versions of the dome kit (yes)
| |
| ==== Some kind of Geogebra workshop ====
| |
| * Surely
| |
| ==== MathsJam evening ====
| |
| * Run it as a hybrid between a pub jam and gathering: half an hour of lightning talks (could be past MathsJam talks or new ones - maybe invite Luna Kirkby, Ben Ashforth, Adam Townsend Via The Internet, etc to reprise old favourites) followed by general jamming
| |
| * Katie can bring MathsJam In A Box and supply some puzzles, old Shouts, cards/dice/pens etc
| |
| * Everyone else can bring stuff too
| |
| | |
| === More Speculative Other Ideas ===
| |
| ==== Workshops to use up shit that's in Katie's cupboard ====
| |
| * Small number of binary keyrings (as per https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z2kcy8w5dr2wfzjwk48iw/keyring-assembly-sheet.pdf?rlkey=9h6r797a4rtew7nmwu7l32xjf&e=1&dl=0)
| |
| * Till rolls that could be made into hexaflexagons
| |
| ==== Does anyone want to design fractal bunting we can put up in the tent? ====
| |
| * Amy does
| |
| ==== Large Touch Screen running https://sciencevsmagic.net/geo/ ====
| |
| * Needs: to borrow someone's large touch screen
| |
| * Could just be a regular screen and a mouse right?
| |
| ==== Katie was going to build a unix time clock which we could put up in the tent ====
| |
| * Might get around to it
| |
| ==== Maths Village Shop? ====
| |
| * Can Katie bring her books to sell?
| |
| * Lisa's probably got other stuff we can sell too
| |
| * Could run it for specified times during the weekend so we don't have to leave stuff out
| |
| * Could do something stupid like make it be open at literally random times, that we advertise but they're stupid (like for 8 minutes between 3.40pm and 3.48pm)
| |
| ==== Amy mentioned mathematical temp tattoos ====
| |
| * Do we sell these in the little shop? Or just give them away?
| |
| * Katie's brother-in-law used to have inkjet printable temp tattoo paper - could see if he still has it, or get more
