Hands-Free Origami & Kid-Friendly Science Demonstrations

Have you ever seen origami that folds itself right before your very eyes? Hands-Free Origami begins with a demonstration by Professors Jan Genzer and Michael Dickey of NC State University, who will show off a simple way to convert 2D patterns into 3D shapes using light and inexpensive commercial polymers. Everyone in the audience will get to experiment and make their own shapes! Following the hands-free experience, participants can explore hands-on demonstrations about polymers, programmed assembly, chemistry, light, 3D printing, and biomedical engineering. Recommended for families and children of all ages! PARKING: Enter campus off Towerview, take a left on Circuit and the parking lot is the 2nd entrance on the right.
