Activating Origami Set

by Teknikio

By adding simple circuits to paper sculptures you can instantly animate them and create unique sculptures.

You can start simple and add a light or two and then make more complex modular systems with your origami robot sculpture. You can also add a small motor and seen how it effects the movement of the sculpture based on where you attach it.

Each set includes:

  • 1 Teknikio motionboard
  • 1 Teknikio batteryboard
  • 2 batteries
  • 4 LED lights
  • 10 fasteners
  • 1 piece of conductive tape
  • 1 origami paper pack

Skills: paper folding, mechanics, circuits. 

Teknikio make a range of fun and beautiful sewables (or stickables - you can use them in origami/papercraft projects too), that are designed with children and education in mind, but they suit explorers, inventors, and curious minds of all ages: 8 to 108!

They've also put together a couple of fab guides on sewables and origami to teach you the basics and give you some project ideas.
