Online Events

I sometimes teach or talk about my models during online origami events. Access to video recordings of my class can usually be purchased for a limited time after the event (often for about a year and bundled with other classes).

Oct 2014: Boston Globe Covers OrigaMIT's 4th Annual Convention

The Boston Globe wrote a nice article about OrigaMIT's 4th annual origami convention.

Michelle Fung lent her expertise to Graham Stearns (left) and Cole Eppling as they created yellow jackets at OrigaMIT.

In a three-hour complex morning class taught by Michelle Fung, the seven students folding Fung’s original design, "Rocky the Yellowjacket," were between 10 and 17 years old.

Fung teaches many "young, enthusiastic folders," she said. "A lot of them could give adults a run for their money."

Feb 2011: Boston Globe Interviews OrigaMIT

Article and video from OrigaMIT's interview with the Boston Globe.

Sitting at the same table as Ku and Chen, MIT sophomore Michelle Fung gave her own demonstration of high-level origami, folding an original design of hers: a buck-toothed beaver that pays homage to the MIT mascot. In high school, Fung said, she’d grown bored with basic origami. But when she met club members and saw what they were capable of, her interest got rekindled. Big time.

"The idea that I can make my own origami, as opposed to folding what everyone else does, is really exciting," said Fung. Most of the highly skilled MIT folders are guys", she added with a smile, "but we’re trying to change that."
