During the exhibition, there will be various outreach activities for school students and teachers like open quiz sessions or hands on astronomy based activities.The Comet ISON is a large sun-grazing comet whose perihelion will occur on November 29, 2013 exactly during the exhibition dates. A Comet ISON poster exhibition will be presented together with mathematics workshops, demonstration of mathematical models, puzzles etc.
There will be more than 30 different exhibits, like a tensegrity stool and collapsible structure, a 3d Escher sculpture, an exhibit on networks in the human body (blood / neurons), surface waves, waves on a string, fractal maps,an ecosystem model or a walk the function interactive game!
