Join us for a journey back in time to the city of Konigsberg and its famous bridges! In this hands-on adventure, you will uncover the mathematical secrets behind journeying this iconic city's bridges.
You will travel back over 300 years to ancient Konigsberg, a city known for its unique bridges. Take on the challenge of navigating the city by crossing all the bridges. Learn how mathematicians like Euler did this and laid the foundations of graph theory, which is used in Computer Science, Biology and other fields.
Using interactive maps and models, you will bring Konigsberg's bridges to life. You will think about paths and tours across the city while learning about connections and patterns.
Immerse yourself in a journey on Konigsberg's bridges, experience hands-on activities, and journey through mathematical history! Explore how modern concepts like networks and optimization stem from famous problems like the Bridges of Konigsberg.
