| EXHIBITION PROGRAMTHE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND TECHNOLOGY. TO FURTHER THIS AIM THE INSTITUTE CURATES EXHIBITIONS. IN 2013 THE INSTITUTE PRODUCED TWO EXHIBITIONS AT OUR SPACE IN LOS ANGELES, MAKING SPACE, AN INTERACTIVE EXHIBIT COMBINING ART AND GEOMETRY AND THE SCIENCE + ART RESIDENCY, A STUDIO LABORATORY HOSTING TWO HANDS-ON PRACTITIONERS WORKING ON THE QUESTION OF HOW FORM ARISES. WE STAGED ONE MAJOR EXHIBITION OF OUR CROCHET CORAL REEF PROJECT, WHICH EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ABOUT GEOMETRY, MARINE BIOLOGY AND THE ECOLOGY OF THE SEA. THIS EXHIBITION WAS PRESENTED AT THE DENVER ART MUSEUM IN COLORADO, A SIGNIFICANT CONTEMPORARY ART INSTITUTION. DURING THE FIRST PART OF 2013 THE INSTITUTE'S MIDDEN PROJECT CONTINUED TO BE ON VIEW AS PART THE CENTERPIECE OF THE TRASH EXHIBITION AT THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM IN SAN DIEGO, CA.LECTURE AND WORKSHOP PROGRAMIN CONJUNCTION WITH EXHIBITIONS, THE INSTITUTE HOLDS PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS. DURING 2013 THESE EVENTS INCLUDED INSTRUCTION ABOUT HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY, GEOMETRIC MODELING OF SPACE, MARINE BIOLOGY, OCEAN ACIDIFICATION, GLOBAL WARMING, AND OUTSIDER SCIENCE. OVER 3000 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN MIDDEN WORKSHOPS THAT ACCOMPANIED OUR INSTALLATION AT THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM (THAT FINISHED IN 2013). IN ADDITION, THE INSTITUTE GIVES LECTURES THAT SERVE AN EXTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL NEED, SPECIFICALLY BY REACHING WOMEN, WHO ARE STATISTICALLY UNDERSERVED BY SCIENCE EDUCATION. IN 2013 LECTURES WERE HELD IN CALIFORNIA, AUSTRALIA, KANSAS, SAN DIEGO, NEWCASTLE (UK), AND ABU DHABI. VENUES AT WHICH LECTURES WERE HELD INCLUDE THE NYU ABU DHABI INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE (NEWCASTLE), THE DE YOUNG MUSEUM (SAN FRANCISCO), ARMORY CENTER (PASADENA, CA), ULRICH MUSEUM OF ART, WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY (WICHITA, KS), BEACH MUSEUM, KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY (MANHATTAN, KS), THE MUSIC CENTER (LOS ANGELES), CITY OF HOPE HOSPITAL (DUARTE, CA), NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM (SAN DIEGO), UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY, CENTRE FOR HUMAN ASPECTS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (AUSTRALIA), AND COE COLLEGE (CEDAR RAPIDS, IA). ALL EVENTS WERE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.PUBLICATION PROGRAMIN ORDER TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL TOOLS FOR THE PUBLIC AND TEACHERS, THE INSTITUTE PUBLISHES BOOKS, BROCHURES AND ARTICLES ABOUT OUR LECTURE AND EXHIBITION TOPICS. IN 2013, WE CONTINUED TO OFFER OUR BOOK A FIELD GUIDE TO HYPERBOLIC SPACE, AND OUR BOOK THE FIGURE THAT STANDS BEHIND FIGURES. BOTH BOOKS ARE ABOUT MATHEMATICAL TOPICS. WEBSITE PROGRAMTHE INSTITUTE'S WEBSITE HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE. IN 2013 WE MAINTAINED OUR CROCHET CORAL REEF WEBSITE (WWW.CROCHETCORALREEF.ORG). THIS SITE PROVIDES A HUGE AMOUNT OF FREELY AVAILABLE EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL ABOUT CORAL REEFS, MARINE ECOLOGY AND THE MATHEMATICS THAT UNDERLIES CORAL SPECIES. THE SITE IS WIDELY USED BY TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS AROUND THE WORLD. AS A RESULT, IN 2013 ANCILLARY CORAL REEF PROJECTS WERE UNDERTAKEN BY LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN MANCHESTER, UK AND ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. MORE THAN 7000 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE HAVE NOW ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT, MAKING IT THE LARGEST PARTICIPATORY SCIENCE/ART PROJECT IN THE WORLD. ADDITIONALLY, 1900 PEOPLE ARE SIGNED UP AS ACTIVE MEMBERS TO THE INSTITUTE THROUGH OUR ORGANIZATION WEBSITE, WHICH HAS BEEN LINKED TO AND CITED BY HUNDREDS OF OTHER SITES.

| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt | 0 | THE INSTITUTE FOR FIGURING IS AN ORGANIZATION FOUNDED TO HELP EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT SCIENTIFIC AND MATHEMATICAL SUBJECTS. THE INSTITUTE CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS IN WAYS THAT ARE RARE FOR A SMALL ORGANIZATION. DURING 2013, THE INSTITUTE STAGED A LARGE EXHIBITION AT THE DENVER MUSEUM OF ART IN COLORADO AND CURATED PART OF A LARGE PEDAGOGICAL EXHIBITION FOR THE HAYWARD GALLERY IN LONDON. IN ADDITION, THE INSTITUTE PROGRAMMED FOR ITS OWN EXHIBITION SPACE IN THE CHINATOWN NEIGHBORHOOD OF LOS ANGELES. THIS LOCATION HOSTS EXHIBITIONS, LECTURES, WORKSHOPS, AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE IFF ALSO HOSTED PUBLIC LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS ON SCIENTIFIC THEMES AT MANY VENUES INCLUDING THE DE YOUNG MUSEUM IN SAN FRANCISCO, COE COLLEGE (IA), UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE (AUSTRALIA), AND ULRICH MUSEUM OF ART, WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY (KS).ONE MEASURE OF THE INSTITUTE'S SUCCESS IS THE NUMBER OF LARGER ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE ENTERED INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH US. IN 2013 THESE INCLUDED THE HAYWARD GALLERY IN LONDON, THE DENVER ART MUSEUM, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY'S ABU DHABI INSTITUTE, AND THE MANCHESTER MUSEUM IN ENGLAND. THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RECOGNIZED THE UNIQUE EXPERTISE THE INSTITUTE FOR FIGURING IS ABLE TO OFFER IN SPEAKING TO BROAD-BASED AUDIENCES ABOUT SCIENTIFIC SUBJECTS. ADDITIONALLY IN 2013, THE INSTITUTE'S CROCHET CORAL REEF PROJECT CONTINUED TO BE TAKEN UP BY COMMUNITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, INCLUDING IN ENGLAND AND DENVER, CO. THE INSTITUTE REMAINS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO ITS ROLE AS A PUBLIC EDUCATOR AND PRODUCES AN EXTENSIVE WEBSITE THAT IS FREELY AVAILABLE AS A GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE. IN 2013 WE MAINTAINED AND DEVELOPED WWW.CROCHETCORALREEF.ORG, A WEBSITE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO OUR CORAL REEF PROJECT. THIS SITE IS WIDELY USED BY TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS ACROSS THE USA AND ABROAD. THE IFF HAS ONLY TWO PART-TIME STAFF YET IT HAS REACHED AN AUDIENCE THAT MANY LARGER INSTITUTIONS WOULD BE PROUD OF. IN 2013 THE INSTITUTE'S WORK WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY ARTICLES IN MANY PUBLICATIONS AND PUBLIC BROADCASTS, MOST NOTABLY IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. |
