Fold Struct

Origami Engineering Challenge: The Future of Deployable Structures! Ever wondered how paper-folding techniques could revolutionize architecture, robotics, and space structures? Think beyond traditional origami—this is where engineering meets innovation! This competition challenges you to explore deployable structures inspired by origami mechanics. You’ll experiment with folding principles, structural stability, and real-world applications—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with smart, adaptable designs. Whether you're into design, mechanics, or just love a creative challenge, this is your chance to test your engineering instincts and problem-solving skills.

Think. Fold. Build. Compete. Are you ready to shape the future of structural design?
