Another Austrian School to Welcome as our Partner School!

We are excited to announce a new addition to the MathCityMap family: HTL Bau und Design 1 in Linz, Austria! The teacher Lisa Kuka told us about their experience:

“On 19th of June 2025, 25 students from the HTL Bau und Design 1 in Linz (3rd year, aged 17-18) participated in two exciting MathCityMap trails: Trail 2628306 and Trail 0528305. These trails took the students on a mathematical journey across the entire school campus, combining outdoor exploration with practical problem-solving (within their school).

The tasks on the trails challenged the students to calculate volumes and surface areas of seating arrangements and fire doors, estimate the height of the school building, and even analyze the growth rates of plants. The students tackled these challenges with great enthusiasm, working together to solve the problems and apply their mathematical knowledge in real-world contexts. The trails were met with a lot of excitement and joy. The students particularly appreciated the hands-on nature of the tasks, which allowed them to see the practical applications of mathematics in their everyday environment. Their eagerness and teamwork were evident as they eagerly solved each task and moved on to the next.

Overall, the MathCityMap trails were a resounding success, providing the students with a fun and educational experience that combined mathematics, teamwork, and a bit of friendly competition. The HTL Bau und Design 1 looks forward to more such activities in the future!”

We are thrilled to welcome HTL Bau und Design 1 to the growing network of schools using MathCityMap to make mathematics visible, tangible, and fun.

Congratulations and welcome aboard!
