MAS 834 Tangible Interfaces |
This project-based course will explore the design space of TUIs, a new form of HCI, which focuses on the physical embodiment of computational media. Tangible Interfaces will make bits accessible through augmented physical surfaces (e.g. walls, desktops, ceilings, windows), graspable objects (e.g. building blocks, models, instruments) and ambient media (e.g. light, sound, airflow, water-flow, kinetic sculpture) within physical environments. | ||
|
MAS 912 Teaching Assistant: How To Make Almost Anything |
I am TA for the latest version of MAS 863: How to Make Almost Anything. This year's class will take on the personality of its students as they learn how to use multiple fabrication tools and processes to construct whatever their imaginations conjure up. | ||
|
11.955 Campus and Community Leadership |
Campus & Community Leadership meets with key leaders, officers, and decision makers from MIT and beyond (such as Provosts, Chancellors, Treasurers, Faculty Chairs, former Presidents). We focus on how leadership develops at the Institute, on both current issues and strategic challenges, and on how one develops the skills necessary to lead an institution like MIT. | ||

|
MAS 863 How To Make Almost Anything |
The name of this class speaks for itself. Each week, we explore a different machine in the shop or fabrication process. Each student turns in a final project that demonstrates that they can make something interesting that uses many of the processes covered. | ||
| Bridging From Theory to Design Into Practice - @ Harvard's GSE | In this class (offered through the Technology in Education department), we examine three major theoretical stances in education and how they play themselves out in design and practice. We focus on cognitivism (e.g., Newell and Simon), sociocultural theories (e.g., Vygotsky), and constructivism (e.g., Piaget). | ||
|
MAS 940 Preparation for S.M. Thesis |
This seminar takes students through the SM thesis proposal process. | ||

MAS 712 Design That Matters |
The Design that Matters (DtM) nonprofit helps underserved communities realize an improved quality of life by creating products and services that meet needs identified by the communities themselves. MAS 712 is a course offered at MIT to graduates and undergraduates from every discipline who are interested in teaming up with other talented students to take on a design project they're interested in. | ||
|
MAS 836 Sensor Technologies for Interactive Environments |
This course gives students a broad introduction to state-of-the-art techniques, exposure to current research, and practical experience that will assist in developing and fielding sensor technologies for smart environments. The principles and operation of many sensor families are introduced and applications in computer-human interfaces, new musical instruments, medicine, environmental sensing, ubiquitous computing, and other areas are discussed. | ||
