What You'll Do:
Combine simple electronics with the centuries-old Japanese papercraft art of Origami. By adding LEDs and self-sticking motors we’re able to create 3D papercraft projects that move, light up, and blink! Explore art, design, engineering, and basic electronics as we craft together.
In this workshop, we’ll discover ways to turn our circuits on and off as we craft. We’ll make a simple origami “balloon” and transform it into a lamp. Then we’ll make a fun gift box that lights up when you open it. As a gift for someone you love, we’ll make a pair of swans that light up when they join together. And finally, we’ll create a sailboat that is only powered when you put it in water.
Educators welcome! Bring these projects to your classroom or makerspace.
