The goals of these activities are: improving spatial cognition and train for spatial intelligence. A project starts from a collection of Platonic and Archimedean solids and applies transformations and connecting operations to create complex ensembles of polyhedra. The system was implemented both physically (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.x-colony.com\/xcolony\">www.x-colony.com\/xcolony<\/a>) and virtually (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.x-colony.com\/PoCo\">www.x-colony.com\/PoCo<\/a>). Spatial education programs, based on this platform, engaging fifth and sixth graders, showed that participants improved their spatial abilities and mathematical understanding. The scores improved by 26% for spatial reasoning, 15% for solution finding and 7% for comprehension. The increase in math scores in the next year of the students (now sixth graders) was 12% in standard evaluation tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A free registration of the <a href=\"http:\/\/x-colony.com\/PoCo\/index.php\/resources\/downloads\/download\/\">PoCo <\/a>software is available for the participants at CRM9, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/x-colony.com\/PoCo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-1024x555.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-544\" width=\"266\" height=\"143\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/x-colony.com\/PoCo\/index.php\/resources\/downloads\/download\/\">PoCo Download<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polyhedral Computing.
