8 – 2 = 6 (Eight Minus Two Is Six)
Taught by Julius Diaz Panoriñgan
Ages 8 – 14
Saturday, September 20, 2008
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
This workshop takes place at 826LA East

You can sign up for this workshop on our workshop calendar.

You see
4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9 = 8 + 1
  = 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1
  = 2 + 6 + 1 = 8 + 1
and a writer/mathematician sees The Lord of the Rings (heavily abridged).

This workshop is for those who fall asleep while doing their math (or, even, worse, have nightmares too) *and* students who would eat math instead of Cap'n Crunch for breakfast if they could. Every student in attendance will learn to harness the most intense math they know to create an infinitely elegant short story.

826LA Director of Education Julius Diaz Panoriñgan manages 826LA's workshop program (among other things). From time to time, he likes to teach a workshop himself. Julius, interestingly enough, has a degree in Mathematical and Computational Science. (No joke.) He's convinced that both mathematical symbols and written words are just two different ways to tell a story.
