How to make (almost) ANYTHING
SA+P is creating an architecturally driven version of the infamous MIT Media Lab’s ‘How to make anything’ course. I will be one of two Teaching Assitants for this class and will post occasional updates as the class progresses. Its should be an exciting semester! Below is the class description and details.
Graduate (Fall) H-Level Grad Credit
