More information. During their visit to the CTLT booth, the children, and their parents, explored the iPads as digital learning tools and were introduced to the Geom-e-tree and Planets Apps. The use of the Geom-e-tree App allowed children to experiment with symmetry, shapes, and angles all while creating complex and visually stunning patterns.
