World Cup Challenge - Soccer Ball Math Art

Celebrate the World Cup season with the ultimate challenge to weave your own paper soccer ball!

In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided to use simple paper bands to build a classic 32-paneled shaped soccer sphere, and a miniature 12 sided version. Explore how repeated shapes, interlocking edges and geometric symmetry can transform flat pieces of paper into a sturdy three-dimensional structure. Discover the surprising math, pattern repetition, and structural engineering behind the world's most famous game ball! Are you up to the challenge?

This beginner-friendly program is for ages 13 and up. Registration is required and open exclusively to Greenwich Library cardholders. All supplies are provided.
