MathFun
MathFun is an interactive program allowing parent/children to work together in solving math and engineering quizzes and games
which stimulate their interest in mathematics. Every year, we have about 20 schools, companies, institutions and organizations bringing interesting math and engineering materials to the site to interact closely with the students. This is the fun part of the fair that the children love the most. Do not miss out this great opportunity to get your kids involved in the world of math and engineering!
