Math Festival 
We met up with Travis and his mom and headed into to DC to the Math Festival. It’s not as crazy big as the Science and Engieering Festival. That meant almost no line for the Oobleck Olympics, which included a huge air cannon as the final challenge — knock over the cups with a puff of fog. Robert was on the Eagles team. They did really well. Travis was ensconced at the origami table. Step one was pouring 2.5 gallons of water from one bottle to the next, step two was making a huge bubble, step three was a run across Oobleck (from which comes the name). 
There was plenty of other fun to be had: Tangrams, puzzles, games, right turn only maps, And several speakers and presentations that we skipped. It was more manageable than the bigger science festival. And we ran into one of the math teachers from Robert’s school. 
The only downside was after running around there, the rain was more of a setback for our plans to join the science march. We were there in spirit and cheered on friends who marched. |
