“2theXtreme: MathAlive! shows students how math and science relates to their everyday lives,” said John DeSimone, vice president of Raytheon’s Cybersecurity and Special Missions. “Through this fun, hands-on exhibit, we connect these subjects to the things they love most, such as music, sports, movies and games.”
Visitors can jump on a pivoting snowboard while they fly over obstacles at “Boardercross" and take a 360-degree photo of themselves using software developed for action movies. "MathAlive!" will definitely have students excited to go to math class this fall.
