Mathematical Origami: Kaleidocycle Folding

A workshop from EMF 2024 by Ayliean Macdonald

On Saturday June 1, 2024 at in Workshop 5 (Maths)

Get ready to fold your own Flexagons, a bizarre mathematical shape with two faces which can be flexed to reveal a hidden face out of nowhere! Use them as a way to send secret notes or a fun fidget or stim toy.

We'll delve into a little of the Maths behind them and then kick it up into the next dimension by creating Kaleidocycles, a 3D version of the Flexagon.

You will have time to flex your artistic flare and decorate your creations to highlight their unusual geometry.

Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and both must have a ticket for this workshop.
