Hi everyone,
I wanted to utilize the 3D possibilities that the pipe cleaners gave so the first thing I thought of was those underwater creatures with bio-luminescence (like an angler fish). I thought maybe origami would be a quick way to make a 3D fish instead of just a flat paper cutout, so I found some fish origami instructions online to try.
With the pipe cleaners, I didn’t take off enough fluff at first (I think you need to have at least 1" of the wire exposed for the connections to work … Through the experience, our group agreed that depending on the age group, it would probably be best to prep the pipe cleaner tips in advance instead of having the participants do it.
I’d be interested in experimenting more with how to incorporate origami with the paper circuits …
