About EMC Quests:

Kids and their parents follow a magical storyline and embark on a mathematical adventure. Throughout this adventure, they solve math problems, logical riddles, and find clues that lead them along the journey. At EMC we are strong believers in the power of family and community! Our events help create social connections outside of the classroom, and empower our parents with tools to bring more math into the home

Event will be led by Anna Margolis and a team of volunteers - www.emc.school
