Origami University - Geometric Day

"The OrigamiUSA Junior Board is planning Origami University, an event to share the concepts of geometric, representational, and STEM applications of origami. This event will serve both as a showcase of the modern day universe of origami while providing a starting point for people to build connections and form community. We hope to introduce origami as both a serious artform and a tool with broad interdisciplinary applications.

The third day of Origami University will focus on geometric origami. This day is all about exploring the different ways paper can be folded to create shapes, patterns, and structures. Participants will have the chance to try both simple and more intricate designs, discovering the variety and creativity that geometric folding can offer.

Throughout the day, classes will highlight different styles of geometric origami, giving participants the opportunity to experiment with new techniques and approaches. The schedule is designed so that everyone can find classes that match their experience and interests, whether they are just starting out or looking for a more challenging project.

OrigamiUSA Junior Board members will also teach classes on simpler models, offering a welcoming introduction to geometric folding. These sessions provide an easy entry point while still being enjoyable for folders of all skill levels.

The day will run two tracks of classes at the same time, allowing participants to choose the sessions that fit their experience." - OrigamiUSA
