Dymaxion Globe Fold-Up Puzzle

Make Your Own World!

Folded from the Our Spaceship Earth Satellite Self Portrait Dymaxion™ Map, this 6" icosahedral (20-sided) globe generates conversation on global issues and solutions. Dymaxion world maps, invented by R. Buckminster Fuller, are the world's most accurate flat global projection. It has at most a 2% distortion at any one place, so there is no visible distortion of relative shapes and sizes of the land mass and sea areas.

A cloud-free satellite flat image of the Earth will fold-up into a globe based on his icosahedral world map of the continents. This is a fun teaching aid for the classroom to demonstrate tactile skills, geometry, geography, social science, cartography, and a new perception of earth. Excellent for home schooling too!

Easy to build. Stand included. Ready to assemble with complete instructions. A great gift for ages 8 and up.

Globe and packaging made from recycled paper.
