We need you to build the first ever Menger Sponge in Switzerland!

11 Nov 2020

Registration deadline: 4th December 2020

“Menger Sponge cubes have been built in different cities around the world. A Menger Sponge is a three-dimensional fractal, which can be made by taking a cube and cutting out a square section through the centre in each of the three directions; then each of the resulting smaller cubes is cut out in the same way, and so on until you've removed infinitely many pieces. So each Menger Sponge is made from twenty identical-but-smaller Menger Sponges. This results in an object which has zero volume but infinite surface area!”*

Your contribution is very important to us! Be part of this team effort to put together the first ever three-dimensional fractal in Switzerland. So, whether you are a teacher, a student or just simply interested in participating with your friends and family, we would like to hear from you. We can provide accompanying teaching material to help your class or group with their contribution.
