What connects M.C. Escher, Kandinsky, a quilt, and an abacus? The secret is all in the numbers. Campers find hidden math in design and art around the Smithsonian and reveal the art within mathematical concepts. A behind-the-scenes look at artifacts at the American History Museum and trips to the American Art Museum and the Hirshhorn inspire geometric creations. Campers construct kinetic sculptures, conduct experiments in symmetry, fold origami masterpieces, and depict the Fibonacci sequence and other patterns.
