The term tensegrity was coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a portmanteau of "tensional integrity".[2] The other denomination of tensegrity, floating compression, was used mainly by Kenneth Snelson.**
-
Students can learn about repetition/patterns in design with regards to structure and stability, tensile objects vs solid-frame objects have particular uses and strengths, tensegrity structures can be used to build foldable/collapsable structures and products capable of being packed in small spaces and reassembled, use of tensegrity can be applied to areas of discipline that include Architecture, Robotics and Product Design.

Grade Levels: K-12
