GEODESIC DOME CLASS

GEODESIC DOME CLASS:
Yesterday, Keira & Kailani, Lilo, Mango (from Orange County, California), & Pyper (not pictured) got together to learn about Geodesic Domes from around the world. They learned about Epcot at Disney World, Florida, USA, The Eden Project in Cornwall, UK some cool domed tents in Patagonia, and how a Geodesic Dome house can be built in about 7 hours and it’s so strong it can withstand earthquakes, hurricanes & tornados!!! WHAT???

We decided to build one ourselves (in 1 hour! NOT 7! 😆😳) In just 12 simple steps using nothing but straws and pipe cleaners to create 6 pentagons that contain 3d triangles, we did it!

Yes, this is possible to do in an hour without pulling your hair out, as long as you’ve done a little prep to the straws!!!

We had fun, and I especially loved how Keira and Kailani’s birds 🦜🦜 (Lilo & Mango) would climb on their heads, and sometimes both at the same time. It was so cool to see! And sometimes the birds try kissing them too! I had no idea birds could be so affectionate towards humans!❤️🥰 I learned something too!!!🎓🤪🤩

Thanks to Jennifer (Mom) for sharing these photos, & doing this class and Stick Multiplication!!! Your girls are clever, beautiful, and so much fun! Here’s to more classes together in the future!!! ❤️❤️❤️
