Paper folding

Paper folding, often referred to as origami, is the art and practice of transforming a flat sheet of paper into a three-dimensional object through folding techniques. This craft can range from simple shapes like cranes and boats to intricate designs involving multiple folds. Beyond artistic expression, paper folding has mathematical implications and applications in fields such as engineering and robotics, where folding patterns can determine how structures expand and function. It encourages creativity, enhances spatial awareness, and has cultural significance in various traditions around the world.
