That was a tiring afternoon. From 3-5 today I ran an origami/engineering program for about 60 girls, grades 5-9, from the Villages at Cabrillo housing project here in Long Beach. They are living here on campus this week, doing all sorts of hands-on science and engineering projects, sponsored by the CSU Long Beach College of Engineering, Women Engineers at the Beach, Long Beach City College, the California Community Colleges, and the California Space Grant Consortium. This is a part of the "Engineering Girls, It Takes a Villiage" project. On my feet for 2 hours teaching a tessellation (yes, a tessellation) and having the girls test its mechanical properties. As I said .... "Woooo .... .....ooo .....oooo...t." With best wishes, Galen T. Pickett https://www.etsy.com/shop/GeometricOrigami
