Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy on May 9th. The half-day event also included a lecture and discussion on mathematics in art and architecture, and an exhibition of art work covering digital fabrication using laser cutting and 3D printing. Awesome students! The workshop covered the use of a simple programming language called LOGO which can be used to draw interesting geometric figures using basic mathematical and geometrical concepts. After a few introductory exercises, we were able to develop procedures to draw polygons, scale and spin them. In repeating them and modifying the line weights we were able to develop the following composite figure from overlaying these individual figures. |
