This is a program dedicated to children and their educators, parents and teachers. It is also an introduction for adults who would be interested in knowing the fundamentals behind one of the purest forms of learning, and one of the most ancient sciences, geometry. For those who have been searching for an easily apprehended order underlying the structure of the universe, you are in the right place. For those who believe no such order exists, prepare to test those beliefs.

This is not the geometry you learned in high school: no theorems, no postulates, no structured proofs. Of course they can all be applied, but they are not necessary, only optional. In fact, no understanding of math is required at all to explore and enjoy the material. The only requirement is that you try all this on paper, with your hands on a compass and ruler, not the keyboard. With a little practice, you may want to take it outdoors and brighten up the yard or the school grounds. Anything you can do wi th pattern puzzles and geo-boards can be done with this program. And since students are not hindered by the manufactured scale of these educational tools, creativity is unlimited.

The principles and examples shown are but a slight scratch on the surface of a vast universe of creativity and logic, wisdom and science. As long as you follow the rules, whatever art you do can be broken down to mathematics on many levels.
