Dear origami friends, The Museo del Origami y Colonia, Uruguay, invites you to a Zoom meeting tomorrow Friday, Oct. 23rd, at 7pm (EST) for a presentation of the virtual program “Origami y Geometría”. The presentation will be conducted in Spanish with no translations in English.
The virtual course was created by Stella Ricotti, a retired Math teacher of Argentina, and I worked in the edition of the videos. For many years, Stella used origami in her classes and she also used it to train teachers and professors in different aspects of geometry and math. In 2012, at the International Book Fair in Buenos Aires, she was awarded the first prize in the category of Education for her book "Origami y Geometría” (the BA International Book Fair is considered to be the most important Spanish book fair of all that are held in Spanish-speaking countries) The reason why I make the announcement here is because I know some of you in this list are well-versed in Spanish and/or live in Spanish-speaking countries. So this presentation may be of your interest. Also, you may want to share this invitation among people you know who may benefit of this course. For several months during this strange year of the pandemic, we worked together (Stella in Argentina and me in Uruguay) developing the project. It sums up 46 video lessons, lasting 6 hours 23 minutes in total. Because the videos will stay online permanently, subscribers to the course will be able to watch at their own pace, without a schedule. Consider this course as a reference manual for using paperfolding in the geometry class. It is aimed especially at primary and secondary school teachers but of course anyone interested in geometry and origami may take advantage of its content.
