The newspaper geodesic domes require several hours of preparation to have enough tubes for all the groups. As we ran out of materials to invite new students into the makerspace, I wondered if we could learn the same building concepts from toothpicks. After experimenting with rubber cement and playdoh to connect the toothpicks, I think an air-dry clay would work best. Most students chose to bend toothpicks in half for the triangle parts. This is more manageable for a 30 minute time-frame or for students who prefer to work alone.
