The Julia Robinson Math Festival, a vibrant celebration that will showcase the fun and applicability of mathematics in daily life, will be held from 12 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 19 at the San Marcos Public Library.
Hosted by the Texas State University chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics and the San Marcos Public Library, the festival aims to bridge the gap between the university and the local community. Engaging activities and interactive exhibits will demonstrate that math is more than just a subject — it’s an integral part of the world.
The festival will feature a variety of games and challenges, including “Skyscrapers” and “Cup Stacking,” as well as intriguing puzzles like the “Four Color Challenge.” Various participating organizations will host booths with activities tailored to math enthusiasts ages 5 and above. Online preregistration is encouraged but not required.
