On May 15, MCATA is bringing Ben Orlin (author of Math with Bad Drawings) to Calgary for a daylong parade of his favorite mathematical games and puzzles.
It will be a full day of a hands-on dive into joyous problem-solving. We’ll be exploring everything from quick games to deeper puzzles that range from “quick and fun” to “AGHHH, WHY CAN’T I SOLVE THIS?!”
The Details:
- Who: Ben Orlin + You
- When: May 15, 2026
- Where: Deerfoot Inn and Casino, Calgary
- Cost: $119.99
- The Goal: Get classroom-ready games by experiencing the struggle ourselves.
Come prepared to learn, play, and get delightfully stuck.
