Build a Tensegrity Tower

Type: Workshop
Program Area: Arts

Materials Fee $5

Day/Time: Saturday and Sunday 10:00 AM

Location: Fiesta Hall Workshop

One look at a tensegrity tower is enought to start anybody thinking "how does this thing stand up?" The next thought is usually, "how can I build one myself?" In this session we'll learn how to make a tensegrity tower from dowels and elastic cord. We'll break up in small groups of people to do this project. Material costs are about $4 dollars/tower.

This is an open workshop that will start roughly on the hour each hour.
