[Origami] 2020 International Origami Exchange

[Alex Matthews]

Hello Everyone,

I am overjoyed to announce the return of the International Origami
Exchange! Since Covid-19 has disrupted our usual procedure of exchanging
models and insight at conventions, this is a great way for paperfolders
around the world to interact through physical media. This event is being
reborn by the Plateau Origami People as a way to connect folders around the
world.
Here's how it works. Visit the event page  on
Facebook, where you can view the rules and find the link to the sign-up.
Agree to the rules and fill out the entry form which closes on
November 10th. You will receive your exchange partner's contact information
by November 14th. Then, send him or her a package containing any
origami-related items, and something unique from where you live. Send the
package by December 5, then wait for your package to arrive!
After receiving your package, please share your photos on our Facebook
Event page or Instagram using hashtag #origamiexchange2020.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at
plateauorig...@gmail.com.

[Origami] Invitation to a Zoom meeting presentation of "Origami y Geometria", a video course developed by the Museo del Origami in Colonia, Uruguay

[Laura R]

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.

Here is the link for tomorrow’s Zoom meeting with me and Stella as co-hosts: 

Laura Rozenberg is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Presentación del Curso Origami y Geometría, de Stella Ricotti
