Don’t let the name fool you: Math ’n’ Stuff is an amazing store for non–math nerds too. All the things a geek could need are here, and all the things you didn’t realize you needed. Walking through the store should spark the explorer and scientist in everyone. Of course you need to set up your own lab—better grab that microscope and a few Petri dishes. Oh, and there’s that telescope you need for stargazing! And we mustn’t forget the archeology beginner’s kit; that area in your backyard looks suspiciously old and probably contains lots of dinosaur bones, so better prepare. What makes Math ’n’ Stuff special is the variety of items that keep the brain active in fun and unusual ways. Such as LEGO! In fact, they have one of the best LEGO selections I’ve ever seen. What’s more, they host “LEGO Builds,” a monthly event for which they provide the bricks and you provide the imagination to build whatever your heart desires (and you get to keep your creation). Math ’n’ Stuff inspires the geek in all of us to continue learning—and to have fun doing it.
