...and Bucky Fuller

Third graders discovered the genius of R. Buckminster Fuller through this short video clip:

We noticed all the shapes he used in his infamous geodesic domes. Parallelograms, trapezoids, hexagons...you can't make any without triangles!
Bucky Fuller used triangles as the basis for his designs because they are the strongest of all the shapes, as we soon found out when we started constructing our sculptures. 
The best thing about our "geodesic" sculptures: architecture, design, science, and math all come together to make some awesome ART!
