The skate equation

This drop in activity runs at the following times
Friday 18 September 18.00 – 18.45

In skateboarding, there’s geometry in every flip and algebra in every jump. Uncover the maths required to land the trick. 

You don’t need to be a skateboarder to be ‘stoked’ about this collaboration between Skate Southampton and John Hansard Gallery. They’ll be transforming Guildhall Square into a skaters’ haven, installing steel sculptures inspired by mathematical concepts to bring a new dimension to the jump and grind of the boards. See live skating demos, witness maths in motions and discover the shapes and angles needed to really pop some tricks.
No experience with skating or maths required. Welcome to the skate equation.
