Doughnut Spinner

Create a Doughnut where both inner and outer parts spin and explore the random combinations that arise

Version 1.0 (February 2021)


Overview

This activity guide will help you create a double spinning wheel where you can spin both the inner (social) and outer (ecological) dimensions of the Doughnut to generate random combinations you can then explore.

Do share back your own Doughnut Spinners with us, and we'll create a story celebrating them all.
