Teaching & Learning
I create learning experiences that help participants to explore and learn together. My classes often make projects in a mode of learning that brings together different kinds of skills, like academic, technical, and interpersonal. I work in a variety of context and with a range of ages, from university seminars to museum tours for preschoolers. Topics generally circle around how people make and share things and how best to share knowledge with other people.
