Julia Robinson Math Festival 2025

Julia Robinson Math Festival at Texas State University

The Julia Robinson Math Festival will take place at the San Marcos Public Library on Saturday, April 19th, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This festival is not your typical math event; it's a vibrant celebration that will showcase the fun and applicability of mathematics in our daily lives.

Hosted by the Texas State University chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics and the San Marcos Public Library, our festival aims to bridge the gap between the university and our local community. Through engaging activities and interactive exhibits, we hope to demonstrate that math is more than just a subject—it's an integral part of the world around us.

Get ready to dive into a world of mathematical wonder with a variety of games and challenges, including "Skyscrapers" and "Cup Stacking," as well as intriguing puzzles like the "Four Color Challenge." We’ll have various participating organizations, including SIAM, hosting booths with activities tailored to math enthusiasts ages 5 and above.

Doors open at 12:00 PM. Parking is readily available at the San Marcos Public library, ensuring easy access for all. We’ll have dedicated volunteers stationed throughout the venue to supervise activities and ensure a safe and exciting environment for all participants.

Join us as we celebrate Math and Statistics Awareness Month and embark on a journey of discovery at the Julia Robinson Math Festival. For more information or media inquiries, please reach out to Eirian Whitson at oup1@txstate.edu . See you there!
