24 Math Experience Activities and Escape Room Bus
Enjoy the Fun of Mathematics
The National Busan Science Museum (Director Song Sam-jong) will hold a math experience event, "Alssong Dalsong Mathping," from the 15th to the 16th at the National Busan Science Museum to commemorate World Mathematics Day.
World Mathematics Day is a commemorative day designated by UNESCO on March 14th each year, inspired by the approximate value of pi, 3.14, to raise awareness of the importance of mathematics.
The National Busan Science Museum recognizes that as science and technology advance, the importance of mathematics, the fundamental discipline in fields such as networks, artificial intelligence, and engineering, is growing even more. Therefore, it has prepared opportunities to experience mathematics easily and enjoyably.
To allow the whole family to enjoy mathematics in everyday life, various experiences such as ▲math experience programs ▲math AI escape room bus ▲special math lectures will be offered.
The math experience program will be held on the first floor in the Kim Jin-jae Hall and will operate four times a day (10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 4:00 PM).
There will be 24 activities prepared, including "Rolling a 3.14m Cylinder" to feel pi with your whole body, "Archimedes Pizza," where you make a rectangle using pizza slices, and "Pythagoras Shapes," where you create shapes with ropes.
Also, at the "Alssong Dalsong Math Arcade," visitors can enjoy interactive games solving math missions such as finding the sum of two numbers and perfect squares.
At the outdoor math AI escape room bus, a unique experience is provided where participants solve five areas of math missions?shapes, mazes, data, the four-color theorem, and optimal paths?to rescue the protagonist trapped in a 4-dimensional world.

The special math lecture will be held on the 15th at 2:00 PM in the first-floor main conference room, where Jeong Yu-bin, a leading math instructor from EBSi, will present "You Have to Like Math to Be Good at It," explaining the charm of mathematics in an easy and fun way. Instructor Jeong is also well known as the "Chapssaltteok Math" teacher, who delivers math in a friendly and soft manner that can otherwise feel rigid.
Applications for participation can be made on the National Busan Science Museum website, and on-site registration is possible if seats remain.
Kwon Su-jin, Director of the Science Culture Office at the National Busan Science Museum, said, "Professor Heo Jun-yi, a Fields Medalist known as the Nobel Prize of mathematics, said he engages in mathematical and emotional exchanges by solving math problems posed daily by his son," adding, "We hope this event will be an opportunity for people to approach math more enjoyably and comfortably in daily life."
