Bringing Math to the Informal Education World

Bringing Math to the Informal Education World

MathHappens is a non-profit operating foundation. We design, build and staff math exhibits in the Austin Community and beyond. We are a site for the University of Texas internship program. The internship program is a work experience opportunity for preservice teachers so that they can earn money while in school doing relevant, meaningful work that develops personal and professional skills. Most jobs for math students are in tutoring, but Mathhappens offers an alternative. Students working for us learn to use a laser cutter to create and build new math models, they attend meetings and training with member institutions in the Austin Museum Partnership, they lead projects, staff special exhibits and field trips, present to teachers and administrators in private sessions and at conferences, and they interact with the general public.
