Jonathan Histed demystifies gyroscopes and rotational dynamics,
showing why pigs and boomerangs fly in circles. An interactive
session with counter intuitive demos, culminating in understanding,
building and flying your own cardboard boomerang.

Jonathan has a degree in Mathematics and Computation from Oxford.
He likes the intersection of creativity, science and maths where
invention comes alive and enjoys making mathematical concepts
comprehensible and fun for everyone through demonstrations.
Jonathan runs several businesses, including the commercialising
of two patents concerning his invention for making ice skaters
skate faster.
