I’m excited to be the guest for Dale Dougherty’s next Fireside Chat as we explore the story behind the updated and revised edition of a Make: classic, Paper Inventions. This new edition ignites imagination with hours of hands-on STEAM activities for young inventors and busy adults. 

In this fireside chat, I’ll get to talk about her creative process behind the more than 30 fun projects and variations in this book, from traditional decorative pastimes, amazing math oddities, and daring feats of construction to light-up, motorized, and programmable paper circuits. I’ll also be bringing several of her favorite paper inventions, demonstrating how they fold, pop, spin, glow, and even compute!

Joining the panel are the inspirational Jie Qi, co-founder and CEO of Chibitronics, and Angii De La Cruz, lead instructor at the Thinqubator, the children's makerspace at the Tech Valley Center of Gravity in Troy, NY, who hosted the Paper Inventions book launch event for families.
