The Science of Origami

Type: Presentation

Description:
Origami, the ancient art of Japanese paper folding, is more than just child’s play. The science of origami is used in architecture and design. It is also applied in advanced science, such as space equipment, bulletproof shields, eco-friendly products, and artificial human organs. In our session, we will present some examples of origami technologies and how they benefit and improve our lives. The attendees can create some simple versions of origami.
