AboutBlind Origami

In this activity one team member makes an origami figure using our instructions. Without seeing, each person must attempt to reproduce the origami based only on what the team member is instructing them! The ultimate goal is to have each member create a craft closely resembling the original. This demonstrates how ambiguity in communication and discounting process can lead to deviation from desired outcome.
