We'll be doing fun hands-on mathemagic tricks. Learn how to: fit your entire body through an index card; magically cut a paper loop in half, just to get another paper loop; win money from your friends; and more!

Famed Splash Teachers Bill and Jake are back. And this time, they're conducting a one-of-a-kind science experiment. In mathematical folklore there are number of facts which are widely believed to be true. But many of them have never been tested in the real world. In this class, we'll put those theories to test, and use YOU as the data points. Can humans pick numbers which look random? Can we use mathematics to estimate heights of buildings? Can the mathematical constant $\pi$ be computed using popsicle sticks? All of these remain to be seen.

We'll give you the materials. You'll build the tallest tower you possibly can. It's that simple.

Today, you will learn how some of the greatest liars and cheats of all time were caught using math. You’ll even catch a couple yourself. From a national conspiracy to fabricate voting results, to hiding the side-affects of a multi-billion dollar drug, math can either make or break the deal.
