George Hart E O Museu Da Matemática De Nova Iorque
26 e 27 de Novembro
George Hart (The Museum of Mathematics, New York City) estará em Coimbra durante a Semana da Cultura Científica, a convite da organização da conferência Bridges
No Museu da Ciência, George Hart fará uma conferência para o público em geral, um workshop para pais e professores, e ainda actividades mãos na massa para toda a família.

George Hart will present and discuss examples of his mathematically informed sculptures, which generally apply computer technology in their design and/or fabrication. These include works made of metal, wood, plastic, or found objects, and often use laser-cutting, plasma-cutting or additive freeform fabrication technologies in their realization.
Also shown will be brief videos of the assembly of some larger commissions. Mathematical and computer science aspects of these designs will be discussed.

Preçário geral do museu | Marcação prévia
We will construct attractive geometric sculptures made out of paper simply by cutting out paper pieces and sliding them together.
A number of mathematical skills are developed, concerning geometric structure, coloring patterns, and concrete and mental visualization, providing good
classroom activities for middle-school, high school, and college students.
This activity is designed to be suitable for class room use, as a way to learn mathematical and structural ideas with a group art construction.

Aconselhada a professores de Matemática de qualquer grau de ensino.
Os participantes receberão um certificado de participação.
This workshop consists of geometric constructions made out of paper and of CDs connected with cable ties. This activity is designed to be suitable for class room use, as a way to teach mathematical and structural ideas.
This type of projects provide students with experience exploring properties and relationships of two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures.
Furthermore, as team-building projects, these work well if assembled in groups of two or three students. That encourages collaboration and mathematical communication.
