What can you expect?

Why are there actually an infinite number of numbers, but only exactly five "perfect" shapes? In this lecture, we will get to the bottom of the mystery of cubes, pyramids and the like. We make our own models, test out what is possible and discover what these shapes have to do with crystals, footballs and the ancient Greeks. An exciting hands-on adventure for all young researchers!
