Webinar on Reach Out and Touch Space

The Panamanian Foundation for the Promotion of Mathematics (FUNDAPROMAT) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) welcome you to join our Math Webinar in English #50, which will take place on Wednesday, August 27th, 2025 at 5 pm Panama time, 6 pm EDT. This Webinar is free and open to the general public, which means that kids and adults of all ages are welcome to attend. 

In this Math Webinar in English, our invited speaker Bjoern Muetzel, Professor of Mathematics at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, will be presenting on "Reach Out and Touch Space". Using tiles, geometric LEGOs, and 3D prints, explore the fascinating world of tessellations in the plane, on the sphere, and even in the mysterious hyperbolic space! Plus, see how the five perfect polyhedra – the Platonic solids – are constructed and prove that there can only be those five. Join us on a journey through the fascinating world of patterns in space!
