Pentomino Workshop with The Wright 3 Virtual Tour

The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust presents a Pentomino workshop with Virtual Wright 3 tour at the Cary Area Public Library on Thursday, March 18, 2010.

Pentominos have been popularized by the characters in The Wright 3, a popular novel by best-selling author Blue Balliett, who used three-dimensional pentominos as their inspiration in solving the mystery. During the workshop, kids build, design, solve problems and learn to think critically using these classic geometric puzzle pieces.  Kids will also enjoy a virtual Wright 3 tour, an interactive presentation and discussion focusing on the Wright 3 tour of Wright’s Robie House, the setting for the popular book.  

Workshop is appropriate for children in grades 3 and up.
