Break-in Box! In-Person

Celebrate the Contributions of Muslim Scholars from the Islamic Golden Age!

During the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries), Muslim scholars made groundbreaking contributions to science, mathematics, and philosophy—laying the foundation for modern advancements in these fields. Learn about two of these scholars - Ibn al-Haytham, known as the “father of optics” and Al-Khwarizmi, the father of algebra. Then, use some of what they taught us to figure out how to unlock a box with treats inside!
