It’s since become one of my go-to projects for workshops and events, suitable for kids and adult beginners. When Emi sent me a video of her invention via Twitter after stopping by to say hello at a Mini Maker Faire, I knew I had to reverse-engineer it. The design for this light-up origami jumping frog comes from IBM engineer and STEAM education proponent Emi Olsson, who got the idea from the light-up paper art projects in my book Paper Inventions. If you’re lucky, it may even do a little flip in the air! Release the frog, and it leaps across the table. Press the frog down, and the LED eyes start to glow.
