Make Podcast: Weekend Projects – Picnic Geometry

In this weeks video edition of Weekend Projects, learn to make geometric spheres from all sorts of things you might find at a picnic. Watch the video to see how to build an icosohedron out of paper plates, cups, and plastic sheeting. This is a great project to do as a family, just make sure you have enough supplies for each person involved to make one! If possible, use recycled materials!

Make sure to go read the companion instruction post!
