Overview
Centipenty is a colossal teeter-tottering spring rider that bounces, sways, pivots, and clangs. Created for Wing Luke Elementary School in Seattle, WA, the 24 seats, in 3 sizes, derive their dimensions from the classroom chairs for kindergartners through 5th graders, who activate the movement and sound with their exuberant participation.
Goals
