How to Build a Clay Igloo[edit | edit source]

  • Dimensions should be 2.0 cm high and 7.0 cm length long for each base
  • Each block's dimensions should be 7 x 2 x 1.5 (length x width x height) cm^3
  • To create this very igloo, sticks are not necessarily needed. However, it is preferable to have a visual presentation to show the layers' 'bent' trapezoidal shape where they lead directly toward the center of the igloo
  • Sticks are pre-measured before being attached to the designated position. This method allows easier calculation for angles of increasing ramp which will be explained in the How to Present Igloo Mathematically
