The workshops are designed to enhance the effectiveness of teaching spatial concepts and are largely customized according to the grade level of students and their special needs.

During the workshops teachers engage in exciting hands-on activities and:

create and explore 3-D solids and 2-D nets
practice demonstrating rotation and mirror symmetries
explore rigidity of solids and their packing in space
discuss and share ideas and comments
   

As appropriate, the workshops may also include a presentation of connections between 3-D Geometry and Science, Engineering and Art. The structures of molecules, viruses, crystals, minerals and bridges are illustrated with Boo Blocks. Paintings of Salvador Dali, etchings of M.C. Escher, and modern sculptures are linked with the ancient symbolism of Platonic Solids.

Group size: up to 30 teachers.
