Learning to teach Math through comedy from Matt Parker @standupmaths. Can you see the problem with this image? (hint: involves the mechanics of an odd # of gears). Seeing MANY examples at Bridges Conference 2022 of why @sd43bc emphasizes STEAM and not just STEM! @jenwhiffin

Most fascinating STEAM lecture I’ve seen in some time - Andrew Witt (@Harvard) shared work on connecting science, complex (even recycled) material analysis and design where AI simulation facilitates manufacture of innovative elements for beautiful and sustainable architecture.
