Mathematical beading can be exploited to construct faithful physical model of any fullerene. The hard sphere interactions among different beads effectively mimic the ligand close packing of carbon-carbon bonds in fullerenes. Here we show a simple modular approach for students to build complicated graphitic structures together. Particularly, we describe in details the structure of the so-called super buckyball, which consists of sixty fused buckyballs, and our hands-on experience in making its bead model by the students of the Taipei First Girls High School collaboratively.
