Private
Exhibitions
Over the years, I have amassed a collection of mechanical puzzles of
modest size. As mentioned in the preamble, I often invite children to my
place and show them my collection. We have also had mathematics summer
camps on our campus. I often arrange for an exhibition of part of my
collection to the campers. These are all highly-motived children, and
the effect is often magical. Fortunately, some of the items are
available commercially, mainly thanks to ThinkFun (A Binary Arts® Company). The exhibition
often generates much discussion, and has resulted in mini-research
papers by the campers on some of the mechanical puzzles. |
