Islington, 08 March – Newspaper Dome Structures

Tuesday, 8th March

We were exploring geodesic structures of Buckminster Fuller, testing engineering and team working skills.

We had a really complex structure to make, which required following instructions, good teamwork, concentration and a fair bit of patience, as the result was not instantaneous.

Although working with a smaller team than anticipated, as the crew got decimated by the winter flu, kids managed to build an

Amaaaaaziiiing 2m diameter dome!

With a cover we have turned it into a tent, that all could fit in!

At the end kids had a little energy dispersion session, crushing the whole structure to the ground.

Well done everybody! Great effort!
