High-Level Project Summary
As a team, we made an origami version of the James Webb Telescope. We choose this challenge because expressing science through art is important to us. On the other side, art duplicates the ways to express a lot of things.

Detailed Project Description
Origami is the ancient art of Japanese paper folding. For decades it has been used in art, some facts will surprise you. According to researchers, some engineers are already using the technique in their upcoming projects, NASA engineers use origami to design future spacecraft. We used origami to make the James Webb Space Telescope. We utilized yellow origami papers for the gold-covered mirrors on the actual telescope. We used different colors for the other parts. Our goal is to learn how to manage to be in a team

I used the resources linked above. The construction of the webb telescope, which is a marvel of design, in the orogami style has also been an indication that science and art cannot be considered separately.
Hackathon Journey
Very good
We really enjoyed working in the hackathon. Regularly in my research we have a simple time to do my research and present to our supervisors. However, the small time here was really a challenge.
