Exploring Space with Origami

The College invited Mr Heinz Strobl, a well-known origami specialist from Germany who has invented the new technique known as Knotology, as a speaker on 'Exploring space with origami' on 30 October 2012. He spoke about the evolution of Knotology into Snapology, and demonstrated how his studies in Snapology led to 'an almost concrete view' of curved space and 4-dimensional objects. Students also had the chance to build their own origami models with only a few strips of paper.
