91¿´Æ¬Íø College buzzed with energy on Friday evening as families from across the Bay Area gathered for the , hosted in the Student Center. Instead of worksheets or practice tests, children were met with puzzles, games, and colorful building blocks — sparking curiosity and laughter at every table.

More than 120 participants — from toddlers to college students, teachers, and grandparents — joined in the hands-on activities designed to make math approachable, engaging, and fun. At one table, students snapped plastic shapes together to build three-dimensional figures. One child proudly created a hexagonal box with a lid that opened and closed, transforming math into both play and discovery.
A Community Effort for STEM Access
The festival was made possible through a partnership between the Julia Robinson Math Festival and 91¿´Æ¬Íøâ€™s Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) Program. MESA provides tutoring, workshops, and community support to help underserved students thrive in STEM fields.
