Abstract
In this workshop we will learn how to construct a model of a map on a torus with seven regions using modular origami with Sonobe units. Each region of the map shares a border with the other six, so seven colors are required to properly color the map. This paper also includes instructions for a second model based on the Ungar-Leech seven-color torus and a model of a map on a double torus requiring eight colors.
