Domos Geodésicos - Lesson 2 - LIKS Prize

In this live workshop for the LIKS Prize program, host SPEAKER B introduces student prototypes and then invites Pamela Mimila, director of education at Epicweenie, to demonstrate how to build a geodesic dome using newspaper. Pam explains the geometry of geodesic domes (triangles, pentagons, hexagons) and why they are useful, then walks the class through the entire construction process: preparing newspaper tubes, cutting and sealing them, assembling pentagonal (or hexagonal) bases, attaching triangular “petals,” joining the structures tip‑to‑tip, and finishing the dome with a top cap. She gives detailed tips on tube sizes, the number of tubes needed for different scales, choice of adhesive and tape, and how to handle uneven cuts. Throughout she encourages a maker mindset, urging students to experiment with different materials (PVC, other paper) and to focus on creativity rather than a single “right” method. The session ends with reminders about the upcoming creation hour, expectations for a final teachable dome, and encouragement to share progress online.
