Applied Math in Action at Bears Playgrounds

Last week, students from our Applied Mathematics class visited Bears Playgrounds in Lima to see how math is used in real-world design and construction!

During the visit, students saw the design and building process of playgrounds for homes, public parks, events, and outdoor classrooms.
