You'd be lying if you claimed to never try origami once in your life. But how exactly is this childhood staple revolutionizing the future of engineering, medicine and design? Kenneth Ch'ng from the Malaysia Origami Association shares with us the educational and cognitive benefits of doing origami, innovations inspired by this universally-loved art form and responds to the inevitable question for educators today: Can't I just watch a tutorial on YouTube?
