About Blind 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.

How does it work ?
The person with the instructions (the instructor) should guide their teammates (the receivers) through the steps to create an origami structure via videoconferencing software (but with the camera turned off).
