The children were encouraged to think, question, and investigate like true mathematicians as they tackled a range of challenges and puzzles. The sessions were engaging, dynamic, and energising, with every child fully committed to exploring solutions and embracing the joy of mathematical discovery.

Join historian Martin Kemp as he uncovers Leonardo's "lateral seeing" and integration of art with science, showing how refusing to separate disciplines might unlock our interconnected challenges.
