At-home STEM Activities: Geometric Mandalas

Geometry is applied in many fields outside of mathematics, including physics, architecture, and art. One example of the meeting of art and geometry is a mandala. Mandalas are geometric designs that often rely of symmetry around a circle. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas are used as an aid in meditation. The beauty of mandalas lies in their symmetry, and the creation of mandalas is often associated with restoring inner peace.
