Science Origami Workshop with Samayeen Rahman

Following the talk, Samayeen Rahman, a Master’s student in Biomedicine at Karolinska Institutet, leads a workshop where science meets paper art.
Through origami – the art of paper folding – Samayeen explores how patterns, geometry, and biology are interconnected.

For her, origami is more than a craft; it is a way of understanding the forms of science through creativity.
Participants will have the chance to create their own pieces inspired by natural structures and scientific principles.
