Flextangles and Kaleidocycles are perfect kinetic mathematical sculptures for children of all ages. Their flexibility make these perfect for any classroom.

Curling Spiral Kinetic Sculpture: This instructable is inspired by mathematician and artist John Edmark's fascinating work in kinetic sculptures, transformable objects, and the surprising structures hidden within the geometry of nature. As soon as I saw his curling spirals, I knew I…

Based in Canada, designer Thibault Sld explores the realm where “geometry, light, mechanisms and interaction collide,” by creating interactive displays and lights that respond to exterior input. One of his most captivating ideas is Hexi, an interactive array of 60 hexagonal modules embedded with mechanical servos that use data from a nearby depth camera to physically respond to nearby motion. It would be amazing to see an entire room or hallway covered in something like this. More
