MATH 12
The Mathematics of LEGO and Outreach Activities Winter 2025

Class Details

This course is a modification of nine previous winter studies I have done on the Mathematics of LEGO bricks and outreach activities. Similar to those, we will use LEGO bricks as a motivator to talk about some good mathematics (combinatorics, algorithms, efficiency). We will partner with local elementary schools to engage students and teachers in mathematics, as well as possibly prepare articles for journals. Possible activities include submitting a Lego Ideas Challenge, to try and create a set that Lego will then market and sell, or do a speed build challenge (college teams vs elementary school teams perhaps).
