Programs
Traveling Math Museum
Featuring more than 50 math puzzles, demonstrations, and curiosities for children and adults, the exhibit's purpose is to inspire, engage, excite, and empower people about the breadth and beauty of mathematics. Since 2013, we have participated in community festivals, conferences, math nights, and school programs from Taos to Hobbs, Abiquiu to Socorro. Bring the Math Museum to your community for a night, a day, or a whole week!
It's Not Magic, It's Science!
For one hour, we compare and contrast magic tricks and scientific processes in an entertaining format.Concepts include properties of water, polymers, material science, optical illusions, math, and sleights of mind for audiences up to 150 people.

Meet the Scientists (and Artists)
Elizabeth Martineau and Gordon McDonough
We are education specialists who have taught in public and private schools. We spent twelve years teaching at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Bradbury Science Museum where we provided community outreach through our Science On Wheels program. We went to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle to be trained in Portal To The Public, the project that trains experts to speak with the public informally. Elizabeth has an M.Ed. in Instructional Leadership, and Gordon has a BFA in Fine Art.
