OCTA-TETRA made its official debut at the "Rethinking Education Conference" in Dallas on May 28-31, 2004.
Hundreds saw the spectacular OCTA-TETRA demonstration model as it developed there
in the lobby of the Harvey Hotel in Irving, Texas. One after another, first they said, "Wow!";
and then after a closer look, they said, "Cool!"

More recently, I was at the "CHN Family Expo" in Riverside, California on June10-11, 2005,
leading an OCTA-TETRA activity for teens and pre-teens.
My "OCTA-TETRA Construction Set" had made the front cover of the April/May issue of CHN Magazine,
and OCTA-TETRA was a big hit at the Expo with kids building models non-stop over the course of the 2-day event.
