We would like to share with you a very cool father and son Magna-Tiles project! To pay homage to their family’s favorite toy, Magna-Tects Ben and Wil wanted to build a ceiling light shade out of Magna-Tiles. Ben is very knowledgeable about electrical engineering and has made many lights over the years so it was a very carefully planned and safe Magna-Tiles creation.
Excited about the idea and planning of the design!
Together, they agreed on a star pattern built around an octagonal semi-sphere. The project began with planning what the Magna-Tiles ceiling light could look like, spending time practicing and testing different shapes. They experimented with the shape of the base and heights of the Pyramids!
Together, they built and mounted 21 Pyramids!
Magna-Tects working together!
Here is the final product! The Pieces Needed for this Magna-Tiles Creation is 13 Small Squres, 16 Equilateral Triangles, 51 Isosceles Triangles
Ben and Wil had a great time building together and Wil is now able to look up at the ceiling and see a project that he made! We are happy to see math, science, and creativity meet in this project. Thank you Magna-Tects!
We are glad to hear from Magna-Tects about their experiences with Magna-Tiles! Share your project or Magna-Tiles Creation with us! Instagram/Twitter #magnatiles or Contact Us
