H2948: The 44 Sounds of English in Splash Fall 17 (Nov. 11, 2017)
Why does the 'e' in 'cases' receive an extra syllable when the 'e' in 'capes' does not? Do 'dogs' and 'cats' end with the same sound? Come learn about all the sounds in English, and then we will talk about how they work together.


A2998: Geometry of Origami in Splash Fall 17 (Nov. 11, 2017)
Explore the geometries of the art of paper folding, including: how units of folded paper connect to form modular origami models, how the 'polygon-packing' patterns contribute to technical origami design. We will also all fold units and make a modular origami model


M2353: Search Algorithms: The Quest from Start to Goal in Splash Fall 16 (Nov. 05, 2016)
We won't quite figure out how Google Maps gives you optimal (and usually accurate) directions so quickly, but we will cover basic graph search algorithms and some more interesting ones that involve heuristics.


A2379: Modular Origami! in Splash Fall 16 (Nov. 05, 2016)
In modular origami, we fold many modules (units) that have flaps and pockets. Then we can assemble them to create beautiful, colorful, complex three-dimensional structures!
