Can mathematics be playful, can it be fun? Can mathematics be intriguing, attractive, amazing and magical, even for those who did not think it was the most inspiring class at school? At Bridges Public Day we give it try: so, come and experience it yourself!

We will explore 10 interactive math games based on the Cinderella applets by Jürgen Richter-Gebert. All experiments are easily drawn on your computer screen with the mouse and get alive with a single click. You can simulate a fish swarm, draw ornaments, manoeuvre cars out of an overcrowded parking lot, operate a double pendulum, and much more. Younger participants will enjoy the game-like feel of the applets, while there is also mathematical content to be explored for anyone who is interested. The workshop aims at an intuitive understanding of the math behind some everyday situations and fun phenomena. It is suitable for all ages and a great family attraction.
