If you're searching for an educational activity that combines fun, creativity, and scientific learning, look no further: kite building with the Composing Polyhedron's kite expansion kit is exactly what you need.

Learning through Fun – A Unique Approach with Kite Building

As the sun shines and summer sets in, it's time to add a spark to the routine classroom sessions. And what better way to do that than with a kite flying activity? The activity is not just about achieving height but includes the construction of the kite, which offers an interactive way of understanding various engineering concepts.

Utilize our Composing Polyhedron's kite expansion kit to construct a sturdy frame. By attaching tissue paper to the frame, students can morph theory into a hands-on experience. What's more exciting than seeing the fruits of your labor soaring up in the sky?

The Composing Polyhedron's Kit – Exploring Different Shapes

The Composing Polyhedron's kit is surprisingly versatile allowing students to experiment with various shapes. A hands-on approach encourages students to physically manipulate a shape, thereby aiding their understanding of the fundamental characteristics and properties of the particular geometric shape.

This lively mixture of tactile learning, represented visually through the kite, provides students with a unique opportunity to witness the practical application of mathematical forms and structures.

By giving students the chance to get outside and apply their knowledge in a fun, engaging project, they develop a stronger conceptual understanding and appreciation for science, engineering, and technology.

The Result: Engaging and Fun Learning

Let's picture it: a sunny day, colourful kites flying high, and students enthusiastically understanding science. This isn't just about creating a diversion from the classroom but about inculcating a love for learning that transcends the conventional methods of education.

By giving students the chance to get outside and apply their knowledge in a fun, engaging project, they develop a stronger conceptual understanding and appreciation for science, engineering, and technology.

So let's break away from the ordinary and introduce an innovative way of learning with our Composting Polyhedron's kit. Inspire your students to understand engineering in a way they've never experienced before!

More EdTech companies are changing hands, at lower prices

Edtech acquisitions reached 149 through August 2026, with four months of the year still to go. Prices went the other way. The median disclosed revenue multiple fell from 2.3x to 1.3x, though deals above $160 million carried a median 5.9x in Berkery Noyes' historical sample.

  • 01Corum Group counted 149 edtech acquisitions through August 2026, and the median disclosed revenue multiple dropped from 2.3x in the second half of 2025 to 1.3x in the first half of 2026.
  • 02Only 9% of deals disclose terms, so the number to watch is whether disclosed deal value starts rising alongside deal count or stays near $6.5 billion.

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.

Field of study drives community college certificate earnings test outcomes

Community college degrees almost all pass the new federal earnings test. Certificate results vary more: in Texas, construction trades certificates put students $48,000 ahead while IT certificates left them $21,000 behind.

  • 01Field of study is the sharper question for program review: in Texas, construction certificates beat similar peers by about $48,000 after five years while IT certificates trailed by about $21,000.
