Congratulations to Lilia Bellahcen ’27, Tram Le ’28, Long Nguyen ’28, and Anastasiia Savchenko ’27 for taking second place overall out of 160 teams and 700 participants at VTHacks 14, a hackathon held at Virginia Tech this weekend! Each group had 36 hours to build a web application from scratch. The Furman team created Bubu-Dins, a financial literacy learning game designed for students from middle school through college with a number of interesting features and AI integration. Bubu-Dins was also recognized as the most innovative use of Hokie AI. Kudos on a job well done! taken in Virginia Tech by @furmanmathematics

Learning, exploring, and a little Disney magic. ✨🎢

Math & the Mouse gives @furmanuniversity students the opportunity to study the mathematics behind one of the world’s most iconic destinations. From hands-on projects and behind-the-scenes insights to afternoons spent in the parks, every day has offered a new way to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences.

Come along for a day in the life.

The Math and the Mouse group has been hard at work using Walt Disney World as their classroom for the MayX term by working on projects, giving presentations, doing in-park activities, and meeting with guest speakers. Yesterday’s class intermission was a quick trip to Hollywood Studios for an Annual Passholder preview of the new version of Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster starring the Muppets and today we met the Mandalorian and Grogu before flying the Millennium Falcon and working on projects! 😎 #furman #mayexperience #thefurmanadvantage #studyaway @furmanstudyaway taken in Walt Disney World by @furmanmathematics
