Anyone else make huge geometric shapes from straws in their ‘gifted & talented ‘ class?

I'm thinking back to the little I remember about those classes. Aside from lying on the floor in the dark at the end & ‘meditating’, I remember making the ‘great rhombicosidodecahedron.’

I looked it up & it is a convex, 3-dimensional geometric shape with 62 faces, making it an Archimedean solid. It consists of three types of regular polygon faces: 12 pentagons, 30 squares, and 20 triangles.

This seems like a strange project for an 8-year-old.
