SOCCER BALLS SOCCER BALLS

Everywhere I go at Classical I see students carrying colorful soccer balls ! But wait, I hear there is a soccer ball competition going on, sponsored by the Math Department. These balls are hand-made as examples of a zippohedron shape.

They are not real soccer balls but custom-designed, multi-faceted,  personalized zippohedrons, or something like that.

In a true Classical tradition, these hand-made soccer balls are the Math Department's way of showing students the geometry and makeup of objects with varied surfaces. Each Geometry student in the school constructed a soccer ball using 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. Students were allowed to use any type of materials and styling to build their ball.

The teachers were invited this afternoon to vote on the most original designs. I'd say the 2 most unusual are the giant inner-lit ball and the multi-depth inner ball mouse maze. Take a look below at the top vote-getters.
