Papierfaltkunst trifft Mathematik

Workshop in German, 12–16 years

Perhaps you’ve seen how a simple sheet of paper can be skillfully folded into an artistic three-dimensional object, such as an animal figurine, an intricate decorative ornament, or a delicate box. People who have mastered this craft are true artists. But obviously there are also laws and rules behind it. Not every folding of a sheet of paper produces a work of art. Rules and regularities – that is reminiscent of mathematics! Is there more to it than that? Oh yes, and paper folding can even solve mathematical problems! Want to learn more and are you curious where similar ideas can be found in industry application problems? We’ll show you!
