What is Origami? 🤔 It’s the art of folding paper into shapes, but it’s also STEM! 🙌 Origami involves geometry, fractions, and engineering, and is used to design spacecraft 🚀, medical devices ⚕️, and robots 🤖. A fun way to explore math and science! #Origami #STEM

Did you know? 🔭 NASA engineers used the art of origami to fold the massive James Webb Space Telescope to fit into a rocket, then unfold it perfectly in space.✨ Proof that creativity isn’t just for the arts, it powers innovation across galaxies. 🌌
