The Wayne College branch of The University of Akron is going to have a Maker Faire in May of 2017. There will be vendors and booths for people that make all kinds of things – from 3-D printing to knitting. Which, I guess, is a kind of 3-D printing too.<\/p>\n

I figured some Modular Origami would be a good fit and I’ve signed up – and completed the 5 page form. Yeah.<\/p>\n

I won’t know for a bit if I’ve been accepted since they’ve got a committee that will need to make the final call. I’m guessing they don’t want to have a bunch of duplicates there, but seriously, who else is going to do Origami?<\/p>\n

Under the assumption that I’m going to be accepted, I’ve started planning. I’m going to take plenty of cranes and boxes to give away, have plenty of paper to teach simple things, have modular creations to display – and the giant menger sponge I built.<\/p>\n

[what is a menger sponge?<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Except the one I built<\/a> isn’t very portable.<\/p>\n

It won’t fit in my car and I won’t have a way to get it to Wayne County. So, I’m rebuilding it to be portable.<\/p>\n

The new version is going to be 20 smaller cubes, each with 12 sheets of paper per face. So:<\/p>\n

6 * 12 * 20 = 1,440 sheets of paper.<\/p>\n

That’s almost three reams of paper. I’m closing in on the first ream completed, but I’ve still got a ways to go to fold all the shapes and then put them together.<\/p>\n

Big project, but should be worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
