Experience
As an Interaction Designer I have a broad overview, knowledge and understanding of almost all of the listed domains. I would consider my best skills to be 3D modelling (3dsmax, Rhino), Electronics (Arduino and other Microcontrollers and Sensors) and Programming (C++, Java, AS3)

Why
Being a student in the Tangible Media Group I consider this course mandatory to fully and deeply understand about TMG’s vision, also it’s history and future. Ideally I hope to develop Ideas and concepts in this class that have the potential for further research at TMG.
