Nesin's Maths Village

Participants drew an astrolabe on paper. Step by step, they learned about the mathematical background of this sophisticated ancient instrument. The program stretched over five consecutive days (four hours in the morning, four hours in the afternoon). Participants received hands-on training in geometry, trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, stereographic projection and many hands-on activities. All received a handy astrolabe on laminated paper for the real thing, and a 3D printed astrolabe as a souvenir.
