Event Title: Science at the Market – Geometry Themed
Location: Urbana Farmers Market
Date: August 6th, 2016
Members of ENVISION introduced children at the Urbana Farmer’s Market to geometry through polydron geometry kits and simple origami. The visitors learned about Euler’s formula and surface area and were able to design various structures with the various pieces in the kit. They were then able to apply these ideas to origami — we made gorillas, pigs, dogs, swans, and cubes.
Matt created a powerpoint presentation to show the visitors how origami is applicable in research! The powerpoint can be viewed here.
