Begin at 9:00 AM with a guided campus tour of the University of California, Irvine, focusing on the Math Department and the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, where students can attend a short interactive lecture on modern algebra. After the lecture, explore the UCI Science Library’s dedicated mathematics collection before enjoying a quick coffee break on the campus quad.
Head to the Irvine Public Library’s STEM Lab for a hands‑on robotics and coding workshop, letting participants apply mathematical concepts to real‑world problems. After lunch at the campus cafeteria, travel to the Irvine Science Center, where interactive exhibits on physics, engineering, and data visualization bring math to life through maker‑space activities and a live demonstration in the planetarium.
Dine at The Lab, a science‑themed restaurant that serves a menu of mathematically inspired dishes and puzzles to solve while you eat. Conclude the day with a relaxed stroll through the Irvine Spectrum Center’s illuminated LED fountain area, where a nightly light show provides a perfect backdrop for reflecting on the day’s discoveries.
