This is the board game version of the Future Mobility Simulator, an exhibit at the Futurium, where players can design a city with Lego bricks and explore various future mobility scenarios.
Apart from playing the game, the workshop will explore the scientific principles and urban planning concepts behind it, such as the “Avoid—Shift—Improve” model, encouraging players to think critically about mobility solutions.
17:00 – 20:00

Humans have been fascinated by crystals for a long time. Its regular geometry, its special symmetry, but also its diversity in colours surprise and please us. In this article, an overview of the connection between crystals and mathematics is given. It is a contribution to the International Year of Crystallography 2014.

This kaleidoscope allows you to experiment with the three geometries in two dimensions using your mobile phone’s camera.
The exhibit is essentially a QR code that grants access to the application from any device with a camera and internet connection. These posters can be made available to the public at math fairs and festivals.
The mathematical kaleidoscope is part of the collection of the Virtual Museum of Mathematics.

The algebraic geometer Duco van Straten, Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany gives a beautiful short introduction into the field of algebraic geometry - from lines, curves to cusps. It shows many pictures and also links its content to historical events and applications.

IMAGINARY is part of the German-Turkish Year of Science, which is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Science and Education (BMBF). Its idea is to strengthen scientific ties between the two countries through jointly organizing mathematics exhibitions and through networking in the field of mathematics communication.
Today, we launch the Turkish version of the IMAGINARY platform. You can now switch to “Türkçe” using the language selector on top of the page or open the Turkish version of IMAGINARY directly through: www. imaginary.org/tr.
Within the project, we will also translate some of the available software and exhibits. There will be several interactive exhibitions in Turkey, the first one opening April 29 in Istanbul, followed by a second exhibition in Istanbul opening in May, and one in Izmir in October. There are further plans for exhibitions in Ankara and Diyarbakır, as well as school projects and media events. We want to connect scientific and public partners and to establish long term collaborations.
Mathematicians, scientists in different fields, politicians, students, the math interested public and media are invited to contribute to the activities. If you are interested in a collaboration, please contact us at turkey@imaginary.org.
We would also like to point your attention to the project Matematik Kafasi, which is a question-answer based platform aimed at the Turkish speaking math community. The aim of the project is to produce high quality math content in Turkish and to bring together math fans in a dynamic online environment.
