Geodesic Clubhouse

Construction   

Dear YES Mag,
Division 6 at Green Timbers Elementary just finished building our very own geodesic dome. It was quite the experiment of trial and errors! Our newspapers were not the same the measurement as your newspaper, so we had to change the dimensions. This was quite the feat, but in the end we were able to build a top-notch dome (on a smaller scale). This was a great task which allowed us to work on our school virtue of perseverance! Even though we encountered some bumps along the way, we never gave up! It was a great project and I will definitely do this again in future classes.

PS: If you having the same problem as we did, you just multiply the longer tube by .89 to get the proper length for the short tube.
