2012 Summer Program
Buckminster Fuller (1895 – 1983) was a brilliant designer, philosopher and futurist. Because he had dropped out of Harvard, he was often asked: where did you get your education? His answer: on an island in Maine, as a child, building toy boats.
Build small boats. Let them (and water) educate and entertain you. Build boats to learn history: the ironclad Monitor that battled 150 years ago, the Titanic that sank 100 years ago. Learn science: balance, buoyancy and surface tension. Learn invention: create your own small fleet. Learn ideas: the power of the tiny trimtab to turn large, large boats. Learn to learn from water.
Batteries included
