Hi all. I work as a lecturer at Amsterdam University of Applied Science, department of communication and multimedia design (CMD). I have a practical background in interactive installations, and a theoretical one in new media & digital culture. As a teacher I'm looking to engage my students in physical prototyping and tinkering, and as a mother of Lois (2) and Lou (1) I'm looking to engage my children in cooperative play that invokes wonder and experimentation. I hope and trust that this Fabacademy experience will help me make the most of both.
