Overview (#1 of 5)

2. Outline
Enjoying, building, and thinking about 3D Polyhedra with
primary focus on the Platonic and Archimedean solids
We will build with:
1. Unit Origami
2. Polydrons
3. PHiZZ Units
4. Coffee Stirrers and Fuzzy Sticks
Discussion points about the polyhedra and online resources will be intermingled.

3. Overview
Our goal is to build (at least) one model with each building
material at each table.
In some cases we’ll need to work together at the table to
complete the model, due to our limited time.
The Unit Origami, PHiZZ Units, and Coffee-Stirrer-and-
Fuzzy-Stick models can be taken with you. Each table can
decide who gets what.
