3D Modular Origami

Materials: lots and lots of paper, a ruler, and a little bit of glue
Fold. Crease. Fold. Shape. Repeat. Each model is made with anywhere from 100-1000 individually crafted pieces. It’s time-consuming, but also quite relaxing!

LED Display Board

Materials: WS2812B LED light strips, gorilla glue, an arduino, heat shrink tubing, 75W power supply, wires, way too much solder
My first ever project in a MIT makerspace! The display is a 30x10 grid of individually addressable WS2812B LEDs controlled by an Arduino UNO – meaning I can display nearly any low-res image or gif. It’s facing the street from my New Vassar window for all of MIT to see :D

Raised Garden Beds

Materials: mostly wood and screws, plus some POWER tools
Built some raised garden beds for my backyard. This was during COVID so I had a lot of time on my hands… We’ve since grown lots of veggies, but the tomatoes always turn out best!
