Origami Made Easy

Origami Made Easy is happening at the Natural History Museum of Utah on Saturday, November 7, starting at 10:30 AM. It's a hands-on workshop where you fold paper into volcanoes, dinosaurs, and hopping frogs, and it's part of ScienceFest, the museum's two-day celebration of the people, discoveries, and innovations driving scientific advancement in Utah. The festival is built for the science-curious and lifelong enthusiasts, and the origami session fits right into that.

Across the weekend, the museum puts on science demonstrations, meet-and-greet opportunities with scientists, hands-on activities for children, science lectures, and citizen science opportunities alongside its paid workshops. The origami session leans on creativity and problem-solving, turning paper into exploding volcanoes, dinosaurs, hopping frogs, and more. It's one of the more tactile things on the schedule, and since it's a workshop, you'll be making things rather than just watching them.

Because it's part of a larger weekend, you can easily pair it with other ScienceFest events. If you're coming with kids, there are plenty of activities geared toward them; if you're coming on your own, the lectures and demonstrations give you a way to spend the rest of the weekend. The workshop itself runs at 10:30 AM on Saturday, and tickets must be prebooked.
