Noah Cho is a sophmore at Wheaton North High School in Wheaton Illinois. He has been folding for 13 years and has been diagraming his models since 5th grade. He loves the idea of combining math and art, and his passion for God's beautiful creation drives him to keep folding.
Other than folding, Noah enjoys painting, reading, and playing keys at his church, alongside some taxidermy and trees climbing (He unfortunately does not have a phone, and that may be a source for his odd endeavors). However, he does not like school, studying for USABO and USACO, and the red dots beneath the words he typed. He is currently dreading having to attend the MIT BWSI summer program this July.
Noah's phone. He got it after sophomore year.
About Noah (First Person)
Hi, I've been folding since 3 years old when my mom, as a Sunday school teacher, was folding simple stuff for kids in her class. It looked interesting, so I started folding too.
Now you may be wondering why on earth I am STILL folding paper after 13 years (I'm 16 right now) when there are video games, TicTok, Youtube, and other revolutionary cultural phenomenons out there. You are absolutely right in thinking that, but I don't have a phone, so yeah...(I mean, I do taxidermy insects and climb trees, so that counts)
Anyway, I enjoy folding, but I love designing the models more. I savor the seamless combination of math and art that beautifully intertwines into artworks (or artmathworks) I'm not gonna explain a the math stuff because...naw, lets not get started on that.
I also love animals on top of building arks (I also made LogoArk). I homeschooled for a while, and a third of the time was reading animal encyclopedias by the Smithsonian (I have a undefendable grudge against National Geographic), and another third was spent riding my bike in forest preserves looking for the same birds over and over again. Well you get the point, I think.
As of publishing stuff, I've only been so once by OrigamiUSA in their annual convention book. A bunch of other famous( I've literally read their books years ago) people were published in it too, so it was really cool.
