Last week we explored mysteries and secret messages with Leonardo "the Blockhead" Bigollo, aka Fibonacci. To continue the theme of funky mathematicians, we will go "all city" (a graffiti term) with Pythagoras. We will do street art and street performance, and learn how the most famous theorem in the world works not only with leg and hypothenuse squares, but also with leg and hypothenuse circles, or dragons, or teapots!

Meet downtown Cary in front of the painted wall at Harrison and Chatham at 10am on Tuesday, March 22nd. Bring your cameras, snacks and drinks, and dress appropriately to be outdoors for an hour and a half. See you there!
