MIT Media Lab, The Educational Arcade / 6.P

Experience
Art: I have taken home-video lessons on how to draw, and have some basic experience with Photoshop. But otherwise, I am pretty novice. Design: I have taken courses & internships on user interface design and game design. DIY Electronics & Electrical Engineering: I have taken 6.01 & 6.02 as required for a 6.3 degree. Programming/CS: I have earned a B.S. in 6.3 and am currently seeking my M.Eng degree through the 6.P program.

Why
I want to take this class because I have exhausted the other HCI courses offered by Course VI and still require 1 HCI class to earn my M.Eng degree. Apart from necessity, I am interested in novel user interface design for use in educational games. My work with the MIT GAMBIT game lab and The Educational Arcade have given me insights into communicating through a digital medium, and I hope to use this course to experiment with tangible interfaces for learning.
