Mike and Ann Eisenberg

Mike and Ann Eisenberg, in CU's Department of Computer Science and Institute of Cognitive Science, led a five-day Science Discovery workshop in JavaGami, a software application that they designed for creating three-dimensional paper sculpture. Students in the workshop used JavaGami to create custom polyhedra, print folding-nets of their original shapes, and then cut, glued, and assembled the shapes. Their projects included a paper catapult, dueling wizards, and a magnificent jeweled jellyfish in a paper-based aquarium. Along the way, students also encountered a variety of important ideas in three-dimensional geometry.
