Menger Sponge Completed at Level 3




A-B Tech's Math Department has completed its campus-wide project of creating a level 3 Menger Sponge, which is an object with infinite surface area, but no volume. It is a three-dimensional fractal, which can be made by taking a cube and cutting out a square section through the center in each of three directions, then each of the resulting small cubes is cut out the same way, and so on. The 男人藏精阁community worked backward by folding business cards to create the cubes. The Menger Sponge is on display in the lower level of Locke Library.

It's a level 3 Menger Sponge
A level 0 is the basic/smallest cube (6 cards)
20 level 0s make a level 1 (120 cards)
20 level 1s make a level 2 (2400 cards)
20 level 2s make the level 3 (48,000 business cards)

鈥淰arious people constructed a level 2 cube. We then placed the 20 levels 2 cubes together to form level 3,鈥 said Math Instructor James Wilson.
