Euclidian, Spherical, and Hyperbolic geometries: Click here for formal paper.

After investigating these geometries and their mathematical shapes that cannot be built in the 3- dimensional world or on a 2-dimensional surface, a formal paper that included the comparison and contrast of these geometries as well as their potential applications was written.

Another application of these topological topics was an introduction to 3-Dimensional Projective Geometries. These included studies about mobius strips, Klein bottles, and platonic solids.

 3D Printing Application: Click here for formal presentation on fully functioning prosthetic hand

After learning about the programs that enable 3D printer, students were tasked with finding a real world application of this new tool. My partner and I found the program for a 3D prostheitc hand, learned about its practical uses, printed each part of the hand out seperately, and put the finished product together using string.
