Abstract
The project Polytopia – Adopt a Polyhedron aims to raise awareness of mathematics in the general public. The
participants are invited to adopt a polyhedron, give it a name and build a model. The individual polyhedra are
displayed on a website, where we provide a crafting sheet for each polyhedron. Furthermore, we encourage the
participants to build a creative model of the polyhedron from materials of their choice. Pictures of these models are
uploaded to the website and thus a gallery of polyhedra emerges. In this paper we show results of the project. More
than 1400 polyhedra have been adopted and 230 models were built.
