Atlanta Youth to Design ‘Future of Paper’ Exhibit at Papermaking Museum

A new educational initiative is set to teach Atlanta high school students how to create electronics, wearable devices, and other technologies that are built on paper and craft materials.

Workshops hosted by the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking and led by Georgia Tech Assistant Professor HyunJoo Oh will introduce about 60 students from Atlanta Public Schools to paper-based electronics through hands-on workshops.

The Williams Museum will open an exhibit titled “The Future of Paper” that displays designs created in the workshop alongside visionary examples of paper-based technologies from Georgia Tech researchers.
