Curious question, which you may have already answered: what is the significance of the geometric shapes? It looks cool.

The symbology of the progression of shapes represents the growth of knowledge of our students.

Could it be considered a mandala?

From Wikipedia:
"Mandala (Sanskrit maṇḍala "circle", "completion")[1] is a term used to refer to various objects. It is of Hindu origin, but is also used in other Dharmic religions, such as Buddhism. In the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism, they have been developed into sandpainting. In practice, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective."
So, yeah, that's a mandala.

That sand painting thing is really cool, it's a shame they destroy it after they're done...
