Head of the Department of Mathematics, St Agnes College, Mangaluru was the
Resource Person. She was assisted by her son Mr Prasad D'Sa who also took up a
session on origami. Origami is an art of paper folding using the basic concepts
of mathematics. The goal is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a
finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. These designs
begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be of different colors,
prints or pattes. The principles of origami are also used in stents,
packaging and other engineering applications. Students actively took part in
the session and prepared various models using mathematical techniques.
Sigmaths
Association also conducted 'Best out of
