Introduction: Wired Cubes - the Origami Cube

About: FabSpaces designs workshops for kids where simple fabrication techniques are combined with a high-dose of fun to teach kids better ways to manage technology.

At FabSpaces we run workshops for kids where we use very simple fabrication techniques to create interesting activities that deliver a high dose of technology education.   Our Wired Cubes workshop is all about understanding the basics of electronic circuits, but we've added a twist:   we do it mostly with paper!

In this first video we are only showing the steps necessary to build a cube.   You'll find plenty of other instructables  to show you the details on how to build this particular type of cube, like this one by Applejuice11.  Just make sure you follow our suggestions about how to use the red and black sheets of paper.

In the second video of this series, we spark things up by adding batteries, LEDs and conductive tape.
