Crazy 8s is an after-school math club designed to get kids fired up about math. Every week Crazy 8ers build stuff, run and jump, make a mess…all while bonding with new friends over math.
Space is limited and participants should commit to attending all sessions.

** Week 1, October 4: Glow-in-the-Dark City **
Take geometry to the next level! Learn to recognize some important 3-D shapes, then build a giant skyscraper of glow sticks and Styrofoam balls. Flick off the lights and see your creation.
** Week 2, October 11: Walk on the Wild Side **
How do insects and animals run so fast with all those extra legs? They use math! We'll run, walk and gallop like animals to see how it all works.
** Week 3, October 18: Funny Money **
We'll bet money you'll love this one! Have fun weighing coins, buying prizes with them, and finally winning them in an extreme version of Rock, Paper, Scissors!
** Week 4, October 25: Beach Ball Party **
This is a party you won't want to miss! You'll use our star-spangled beach ball to play Flying Fives Volleyball, then go gaga swatting the ball against targets to score points.
