NMOS Booth Exhibit

Earlier today, I was presenting at the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS) Finals, and after that I set up a booth at my school's concourse to showcase the origami models from my project "Folding Prismatoids with 3-D Origami". The visitors included the participants of NMOS (Primary School students) and their parents and teachers. Some of the parents and teachers asked me where they could find the pictures of my exhibits, so I have created a Flickr account to house those pictures. Click here to view the photos.

The Prosperity model is featured in an earlier post, here. For visitors who got my blog URL today, please feel free to look around the blog and see the previous posts or leave comments!

To the readers of this blog, you may want to look at Carlos Natan's Flickr account. The work I did in my project is surprisingly similar to what he has been doing, but we focus on different aspects of the same thing; I'm trying to generalise to all sorts of shapes, while he does beautiful variations of prisms. If you like my work, see his too!

Here I wish to highlight two posts. The previous post (here) features Joel Cooper, an American origami folder who folds tesselations and masks. Sounds dull? Check this slideshow! Now that's cool origami. No cuts, one piece of paper - you can still get lots of stunning variation from it, and that's one of the joys of doing purist origami.

The second post is the post before the one about Joel Cooper, and it's about the upcoming 5OSME, or 5th Origami for Science, Mathematics and Education Convention which will be held in Singapore. Details are here in the post. The trailer in that post is a must-see!!
