Experience the Joys of Modular Origami

Modular origami or unit origami is a two-stage paper folding technique in which several, or sometimes many, sheets of paper are first folded into individual modules or units and then assembled into an integrated flat shape or three-dimensional structure. Making modular origami is an enjoyable activity that helps develop hand-eye coordination and attention to detail, enhances geometrical reasoning and mathematical learning, and fosters emotional development, such as perseverance and teamwork. The Japanese Studies Program staff and student volunteers want to share with you the joy of making origami!
