	Description:		MathHappens is on a mission to show the world the wonders of math, in an interactive environment outside of the classroom. Since 2014 the educational charity has partnered with organizations from the Austin Nature & Science Center to Alamo Drafthouse. By demonstrating mathematical concepts with hands on exhibits, such as a human sundial, MathHappens has taken numbers off the chalkboard and presented them to people of all ages as physical tangible things. In this episode of Everyday Superhumans Kyle & Charlie chat with Lauren Siegel, cofounder of MathHappens, and Josh Ransom, the exhibit coordinator of the Austin Nature & Science Center. Josh and Lauren share with the many exhibits MathHappens has contributed towards the center from measuring tools to demonstrate common proportions found in nature to a human sundial.
