I have always seen origami as childsplay to learn spatial understanding. It turns our that folding science is applicable in many fields! Proteins, buildings, airplanes and many more objects found in nature and human designs apply origami in surprising ways. The most interesting one I found was flowers; how they fold out when starting to blossom.

Makes sense if you think about it, they need to compact a large sheet into as little space as possible and in a way that it can be unfurled smoothly. > https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/nasa-s-new-shape-shifting-radiator-inspired-by-origami https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/nasa-s-new-shape-s... It's also inspired some pretty deep mathematical theory in computational geometry, topology etc.
