I teach the subject, and especially love working with children to introduce them to the making of simple pop-up forms. It helps them develop skills in step-by-step problem solving and spacial thinking. I have published three books on the subject, "The Pocket Paper Engineer" workbook series. I taught a class in Wellington recently, and very much enjoyed the city and the people I met there.

You might be interested to see this report as well on our Paper engineering meeting: <br>http://fificolston.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/nz-book-month-pop-ups.html<br>The adults were all fascinated by this hands-on attempt at making a simple pop-up, and I imagine that children must be even more so. It's such an intriguing mixture of the technical and the creative, and an experience you could never get from a computer. <br>Best wishes, Philippaadminhttp://www.philippawerry.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
