Paper engineer Shawn Sheehy invites you to join in making and lighting a candle of your own this holiday season.
The folk group Peter, Paul and Mary recorded a song that suggests we "Light One Candle" for peace in a divided world.Using a handful of simple tools and a kit that includes both pre-cut paper pieces and circuitry components, you’ll build a card that will literally light up your holiday. This virtual workshop explores movement with paper-engineered structures and serves as a gentle introduction to circuitry in paper craft.
