Tara's Desert Domes- Includes wonderful Dome Calculator. How to Cover A Geodesic Dome Tamara Munzer's dome design page Pacific Domes- maker of the 60' dome seen at Burning Man. DOME 4.80ar.02 DOME is a program, by Rick Bono, for creating models of geodesic domes, spheres and related models. I have modified DOME 4.80 slightly to add support for OFF output, which can then be processed and displayed by Antiprism and other packages (but see also, the Antiprism geodesic program, which will make Class I, II, and III models based on general polyhedra).

Here's how.IntroductionHave you ever seen a geodesic dome? Geodesic domes are approximately sphere-like structures made up of interconnected triangles. A famous geodesic dome is Spaceship Earth at EPCOT in Walt Disney World, Florida, but geodesic domes are also commonly found as climbing domes at playgrounds. In this science activity, you will get to build a simple geodesic dome using gumdrops and toothpicks. Once it is built, you may be surprised by how strong it is! Get ready to do some tasty engineering!CreditsTeisha Rowland, PhD, Science Buddies This activity is not appropriate for use as a science fair project.
