Carol Livermore has developed a way to precisely assemble objects on a two dimensional surface. She believes that folding these surfaces like pieces of origami paper will afford a simple and effective tissue engineering approach. Photo by Brooks Canaday.

Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, has been around for more than a mil­len­nium, but asso­ciate pro­fessor of mechan­ical and indus­trial engi­neeringCarol Liv­er­more is now using it to create solu­tions in an emerging mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary field in med­i­cine: tissue engineering.

Fold-a-Thon Origami Workshop

Origami Workshop - Fold-a-thon
Come down to WinCAM (new signs are up around the high school to direct you), sign up for a one-year membership at WinCAM and bring home an origami box made from a recycled shopping bag (first come first pick).  http://wincam.org/ and look for link to "Community" and "Become a Member" for more information.  Spaces are limited.

Bring your favorite shopping bag and take home a nice container to hold your favorite things.
