SUMM Studio: Flexagons

SUMM Studio is a hands-on, creative math experience for families and learners of all ages, with 90-minute sessions every Saturday and Sunday. Led by an educator from the Seattle Universal Math Museum, sessions uncover the mathematics behind art and design, including geometry, and symmetry. No prior math or art experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. Families and individuals alike are invited to slow down, collaborate, and experience math as creative, playful, and accessible. All materials are provided.

Unfold a world of hidden patterns in this hands-on class all about flexagons! Participants will create their own paper flexagons—geometric shapes that reveal new faces as you fold and flex them. Along the way, explore the math behind these fascinating objects, including patterns, symmetry, and transformations. Perfect for curious minds, this class combines creativity, puzzle-solving, and math into a surprising and interactive experience!
