The Webinar on Euler and Origami took place on Thursday, June 24th, 2021 from 2 pm until 3 pm, with the origami artist Ricardo Hinojosa as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker started the virtual event by defining what modular origami is and explained that there are 3 different types of modular origami for polyhedra: those in which the modules represent the faces of the polyhedra, those in which the modules represent the edges and those in which the modules represent the vertices. Ricardo Hinojosa then described Euler’s formula, which states that the number of faces – the number of edges + the number of vertices = 2, and indicated how this formula can help us calculate how many modules we will need to fold a modular origami.
