Audience: 8th - 12th grade students
We welcome all 8–12th graders with an interest in math and who like to learn new ideas through interactive exploration! The sessions cover novel and entertaining uses of math. They are not a continuation of the usual school curriculum, so no particular prior knowledge is needed. Light refreshments will be served.

Topic
The Chaos Game!
Abstract
Where we’ll finish: Surprising patterns can emerge from simple and/or random processes when iterated many times. We'll investigate when this does and does not happen in the context of the chaos game described above. We'll also explore properties of the patterns when they do appear.
