Mathematics (STEM) Saturday, "Astounding Approximations," by Dr. Meredith

The Astonishing Approximations STEM Saturday

will do fun activities where they will figure out how to win a guessing
contest, mathematical tricks to try to get more allowance money from parents,
and ways to gain perspective as to how large is the universe.
The workshop is scheduled from 9 a.m. until noon on
Saturday, Nov. 7, and is for students in grades 6 through 8.
Registration is required. Once registered, participants will
receive the location of session and any other pertinent information. Only
