With a short stack of basic office paper and some scotch tape, I told my eight-year-old son we were going to do an engineering activity. "We're going to build with paper," I said. He looked at me like I was nuts. I asked him to describe paper. Words and phrases like flimsy, thin, and easily ripped rolled off his tongue. I wasn't about to argue. I had him retrieve a book from his bookshelf. He came back with a thin paperback chapter book. I gave him the basic instruction to build a support to set the book on using the paper. We kicked around a few ideas and decided to roll the paper into tubes about an inch in diameter, taping the open flaps down to keep the tubes from unrolling. He was excited to see if the tube would hold his book. Voila! It did!! Rolling the paper had increased the strength of the paper. Now I told him to grab a BIG book from his room. He came back to the table with the Guinness Book of World Records. (Obviously, he was taking this engineering challenge seriously.) We made four more identical tubes out of the office paper. I asked him how they should be positioned. "Should we group them all together to form one central support?" He had a different idea. To make sure the book was steady, he spread the four tubes out so they were closer to the corners of the book, evenly distributing the weight. I'm not going to lie. I was shocked myself that four pieces of flimsy office paper could hold up the heavy book. My son was thrilled to conquer this simple engineering challenge! Note: Next time we attempt this, I think we'll add a second story to our paper-book building!
This parchment-colored travel-sized hardcover notebook is intricately designed with diagrams and equations in ink blue and olive green, all relating to the forces and fields associated with charge. Up until the 19th century, when Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity established the relationship between electricity and magnetism, they were thought to be separate forces, but the two blend ceaselessly on the cover of this elegant journal. Fill it with notes, lists, doodles, or whatever sparks your interest. These dot grid notebooks are 4" by 6" and feature 81 gsm paper. All our notebooks are designed in Portland, Oregon, USA, and are made responsibly overseas using eco-friendly soy inks and 100% recycled paper.

Illustrator and paper artist Katrin Rodegast fused human anatomy and city maps in her editorial work for Globe, the magazine of ETH Zurich, a Swiss science, technology, engineering and mathematics university. Rodegast rolled, coiled, cut, and scored colorful maps to form a heart, brain, lungs, spine, and knee joint. Curving highways and waterways seem to mimic the intricate network of capillaries that surround our organs, while also highlighting the innovation that arises from different systems and organizations working together.
