Description: Unlock the secrets of the Fibonacci sequence and its connection to the world around us! This hands-on workshop explores how the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio shape everything from the patterns in nature to the music we listen to. Learn how this mathematical concept appears in the arrangement of leaves, galaxies, and even our genes. Then, discover how it influences musical compositions, especially in the string family of instruments. Dive into the harmony of math, nature, and music, and see how these seemingly separate worlds are beautifully intertwined! Registration for both the morning and afternoon camps on the same day will include a free lunch at the dining hall in the Campus Center.
