Paper can do more than just lay there being all flat and boring.  We’ll learn to engineer pop-up book “pops” ranging from the exceptionally simple to the surprisingly complex.  In addition to working with paper and cardstock, we’ll use cardboard to make “giant” pops that can be adapted for use on stage as prop, set, or storytelling devices.

Participants will:

·      Learn to engineer several typical “pops” in both small (paper) and large (cardboard) scale.

·      Be introduced to points of academic integration for math and physical sciences.

·      Explore multiple products that can be created with pop-up techniques, ranging from cards and books to puzzle boxes and full-sized set pieces.

·      Browse suggested lesson for easy integration with a variety of academic topics.
