Can you solve it? Are you smarter than a soap bubble?

[Rad]

omg you guys I just learned about this new maths discovery center in london MathsWorld London and it's like totally mind blown! they have an entire exhibit dedicated to the soap bubble problem which is exactly what I've been trying to solve for ages. apparently, it's all about creating a plastic model of the puzzle and placing it in soapy water to find the minimal structure .

anyway, did you know that mathsworld london has been open for 3 years now and they've had over 100k visitors ? not to mention their sister project in leeds, maths city leeds which offers a similar experience. it's like, the ultimate maths playground where you can just let your curiosity run wild!

by the way, have you seen the stats on how many people are interested in maths and science? apparently, 1 in 5 kids are interested in STEM subjects which is amazing. and did you know that maths problems like this soap bubble one can actually help improve problem-solving skills ?

I'm not sure about this soap bubble thingy, it's kinda cool but also super messy . I mean, who needs that many bubbles in their life? But for real though, I think the maths centre is a great idea! It sounds like a really fun and interactive way to learn about maths, especially with all those hands-on puzzles and exhibits. And yeah, having it be inclusive and welcoming to everyone is a must!

omg i'm still trying to wrap my head around this soap bubble thing... like how does it work? u just make a plastic model of the puzzle and put it in soapy water and bubbles form around the dowels? that sounds kinda cool, but also kinda complicated. i've been meaning to visit MathsWorld London though... i've heard they have some other awesome exhibits too like that giant bubble machine that you can stand inside and pop a bubble over your head! u guys should totally check it out... what's the best way to get there tho? is it close to, like, my place or something?
