Make your own pinhole camera
The idea of the pinhole camera has been around since at least 500 BC. The basic idea is that a tiny hole in a very thin material can focus light to produce a clear image. Believe it or not, you can actually construct a pinhole camera of your own out of simple household objects like a cereal box, printer paper, a knife or razor blade for cutting the paper, and tin foil. You build it origami-style, by downloading a PDF from the link below, printing the pages with the design, and following the instructions.
