Tessellations are repeated pattern tiles that Interlock and form a flat surface. My geckos kite is a good (if somewhat complicated) example of that. 

In this class you will learn the rules to make a tile guaranteed to interlock properly, and what rules CAN be broken for a more interesting one.

 Students can spend time playing with making their own templates using paper cutouts. Optionally, students can bring a laptop and use the free, open source program Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) to easily design their tiles electronically.

Students should bring a Pen/Pencil, scissors, and a straight edge.  Also a laptop if desired.
