    Construct a Sierpinski Pyramid

    Strawbees Team

    Create 64 tetrahedrons and assemble together into units to create the massive, lightweight structure. Wacław Sierpiński is the name of a Polish mathematician famous for extensively describing a certain type of self-similar triangle, which means it’s not only a triangle made out of other triangles, but the drawing pattern repeats independently of the scale. This is true in 2 dimensions and also in 3 dimensions, where instead of a Sierpinski triangle is a Sierpinski pyramid.
