HCSSiM 2006 pictures
We did a lot of stuff this summer. Remember that Saturday when we did four different activities at once?

This is Kai Cao working with Sally Wolfe on a dissection of a dodecahedron which transforms into a rhombic dodecahedron; Cale Pennington is in the background and Annie Huang in the foreground. |

Then Cynthia Vinzant displays the ability of the rhombic dodecahedra to tile space. |

This is Youn Kim, Sam Markson, and June Jhe building Five Intersecting Tetrahedra while Lawrence Valby observes. |

Meanwhile, Richard Yeung stood atop Nate Harman while they worked with Vlad Sotirov, Zeb Engberg, Ashley Nagel, Carl Hoffman, Thuy-Lan Lite, Andy Soffer, Dan Moore, and Amber Verser to transform string into polyhedra. |

Not pictured: the toga party, any dance parties, story time, ...but perhaps the most consistently popular activity of the summer was the Cheese Quasi.

Attendees include Alex Weigel, Nate Harman, Ashley Nagel, Cary Malkiewich, and Brendan Folie; Eliot Kim is, of course, the host. |
There were also many Zome escapades. Below, we have Carl Hoffman holding a creation around the jubilant Michael Gottlieb, one of Emma Cohen's crazy concoctions, and a two-floor tower initiated by Kai Cao.


Wing Mui gave a rap-proof of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem during one Prime Time, with the assistance of Hannah Alpert and Azi Horowitz.
