Another Semester as Adjunct
Last fall I taught Intro to Physical Computing and this spring I’m teaching Making Things Interactive, a class I helped develop when I was earning the first Master of Tangible Interaction Design. The TID program is being shut down and I have the last candidate in my class, but I’m glad that CMU developed IDeATe. I think TID could have evolved in to something like IDeATe, but not being a career academic I have no idea how that would work.
Teaching a class of mixed undergrad and graduate students is interesting. I have undergrads who’ve only taken the pre-req (Intro to Phys Comp) and considering an IDeATe minor along side graduate students who have engineering or software backgrounds looking to learn more about making interactive things.
