Senior🎓
Top SchoolMadonna Yoder is an owner-operator and computational-minded maker who has spent eight years blending geoscience, spatial algorithms, and origami to create and teach over 300 tessellation patterns through her business, Gathering Folds. With a background at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and MIT-trained geoscience, she applies rigorous computational skills (Prolog, MATLAB, Python, R, ArcGIS) to artistic design and algorithmic folding. She runs end-to-end operations—product creation, course development, marketing, and exhibitions—while collaborating on workshops and educational outreach. Known for demystifying the math behind folding, she bridges hands-on craft and formal analysis to make spatial concepts accessible to students of all ages. An unexpected strength is her experience building a Prolog framework for polycube unfolding, showing comfort turning mathematical curiosity into working code.
