MKE DOMES

Engineering

My geodesic dome hub makes constructing geodesic domes very easy, affordable and fun. Buckminster Fuller, who popularized the geodesic dome, believed in the power of hands-on learning to engage students' minds and inspire future makers.

Back when I was a young boy I used to build forts with my dad in our living room. I remember the thrill of coming up with new designs and trying new ways to make the forts bigger and better. I soon grew too old for living room forts, but I always treasured those memories. A few years ago geodesic domes captured my imagination in the same way those old forts used to. But the expense of buying one online put them just out of my reach. So, I set about to invent a way to build an affordable geodesic dome. And I succeeded in doing just that! Now, I hope to introduce my latest fort design to the world!
