Here is a marble run inspired by the famously known Hilbert space filling curves, with this you are able to 3d print lego compatible marble run of any size.
There are 6 different models necessary to build every iteration wanted; each of them is based on the 2nd iteration of the Hilbert curves.

Use the camera of your mobile phone to discover the Mathematical Kaleidoscope of the Virtual Museum of Mathematics.
An AI that uses Reinforcement Learning learns through trial and error by directly interacting with its environment. It’s similar to how humans and animals learn.

In 2017, Centre Sciences with the collaboration of some mathematic researchers and laboratories, intends to develop new topics and experiences to upgrade the physical exhibition “Mathematic of Planet Earth”. There will increase public awareness of the crucial role of mathematics sciences to understand and manage the main Earth’s issues. There will allows teachers, students or public organizations to share interest and knowledge on a cultural and scientific event in numerous places.
Among the new ones: Maths in nature / A solid core for the Earth / Digital sundial / Lorenz’s chaotic mill / Avalanches seeds / Resist to earthquakes / Mechanical soliton…

Sorting algorithms are present both in wild nature and human induced reality. Example of the first one is a sequence of fights while flock hierarchy based on intraspecific concuration is been built. The second one can be seen in final part of Olympics in a sport game.

Human migration is a topic that has commanded numerous column inches and news time in the past few years, and will probably continue to do so for some years to come. However, it is also a subject that suffers from misrepresentation and sensationalism: our perception of migration is heavily skewed by stereotypes that, aided by media reporting, have come to dominate our opinions at the expense of reliable data and statistics.
Chalkdust, a magazine for the mathematically curious (www. chalkdustmagazine.com), therefore developed an exhibit partly to challenge some of these perceptions and partly to show the application of mathematics in the social sciences and highlight the links between different fields of mathematics, thereby hopefully furthering the magazine’s goal of raising awareness of the beauty and importance of maths.
In particular, the exhibit shows how Newton’s discovery of gravity in 1687 has recently been applied to model migration, as well as other social behaviours such as trade.

A very small LED casts a shadow of a 3D printed globe onto a wall, illustrating stereographic projection. The globe can be freely rotated by a visitor, to see the changes in distortion of the map.

The BatWing sculpture represents a tangible way to approach mathematics. The sculpture, based on a triple periodic minimal surface, physically expresses the forces inside the structure to give visitors an appeal to applied geometry solutions.
