Hi friends, LIVING MATHS SPACE TOUR 2023 After the sold out events with Prof Arthur Benjamin and Janet Ivey form Janet's Planet in March, we are delighted to announce that for the Living Maths Space Tour of 2023 we have retired NASA Astronaut, Nicole Stott arriving in South Africa in May. This will be a high profile event and will be on most radio and TV stations as well as in the newspapers and on Social Media. We are just giving you a heads up that next week, our three Cape Town venues will go live on Livingmaths.com and you will be able to get tickets before the hype. We are working on 2 Gauteng venues and will have them go live within the next week as well. We have also made the presentation a little earlier so that the junior space fans can enjoy the show. There will be a few prizes for best dressed Space-themed. Bring your cellphone with as there will be a fun Kahoot quiz at the end and the top three participants will each win a cool prize. ONLINE CLASSES Our Second online Cycle will be starting up for students from K-9: Please note that the classes will take place on Thursdays and NOT Wednesdays.
