The century old tradition of paper folding is now at the heart of a scientific revolution. Scientists are discovering that folding is a powerful tool to explore the limits of science. Engineers and designers are now adopting origami designs to conquer space or reshape the world around us.

Fabulous DVD
I used this in a couple of my classes. It works well in my Advanced Math to show how origami is studies by mathematicians. I also show it to my Design and Modeling class to show them how engineers are using folding techniques in their design.

This documentary by NOVA was excellent. It perfectly wove together the children's game of origami - making cranes and small figures - with the origami of Nature in the folding of early leaves in buds and butterflies in cocoons to the astro-engineer's designing and creating folded machines to be unfolded in space. The dvd was planned and executed with finesse and is an inspiration to parents and teachers to encourage children in this activity with the hope these children will later apply what they learned in mathematics and science.
