I'm looking for a good hands-on project for my second semester resource Geometry class. We have all ready built bridges from toothpicks. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Location: Henry Clay		i also have a book called Unfolding Mathematics with unit origami which could possibly be used in Geometry. I make a triangle measuring tool and a samuri helmet(out of newspaper) that my students really enjoy.
