Is there any better way to bring book illustrations to life than to integrate them with pop-ups? There is! You can integrate them with pop-ups that simultaneously demonstrate a sense of life-like animation when they are popping. In this paper engineering workshop, you will assemble and examine a variety of applied foundational structures based on both pop-ups (the action is dimensional and happens when you turn the page) and movables (the action is flat and happens when you pull a tab or turn a wheel). You will use a kit of pre-cut pieces and just a handful of simple tools. You will explore the dimensional and mechanical potential of 80 lb card stock and white craft glue. You will become well-versed with the fundamentals and vocabulary of paper engineering. Ultimately, you will bind the collected structures into a simple, satisfying case.
