Hexas at Hampton Design Night

By Kenneth FitzGerald

hexas at Hampton
I was one of the presenters at the Hampton Design Night event at Armstrong Fundamental Elementary School in Hampton Virginia, on June 9, 2010. The event was organized by the school in association with the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York. They’ve been working together for the past two years to “bring design thinking into their classrooms.” I elected to present a “fun design activity for kids and their families”—making hexahexaflexagons! For some pix of the fun, go here.

Our symbol:

The hexahexaflexagon

is the symbol-artifact of Ephemeral States. It is a folding paper object composed of 19 equilateral triangles that displays six different faces of six triangles. Three of the faces will open to two other faces, the other three will open to one. To view a short video on how to flex a hexahexaflexagon click here. (Video by Peter Eudenbach)
