Lana Sattelmaier- Fab Academy 2021

About me

Hi, my name is Lana Sattelmaier! I'm a research assistant at Hochschule Ruhr-West in Bottrop currently working on the research area smart home, smart living and further education of artisans. Additionally, I'm pursuing a master's degree in computer science. Previously I studied human-computer interaction where I started to become active in a FabLab (the one at our university). I am a FabLab member since almost 6 years now and enjoy the work I (used to, due to a certain pandemic) do there a lot. My favorite thing is learning new things, thats why I'm looking forward to take part in the Fab Academy!

My Background

I grew up in a tiny german village next to the dutch border (Bundesland NRW/ Provincie Limburg), but I was born in Heinsberg, Germany. I miss the big forest which is located in that area, that's why I want to make an interactive whimsical forest diorama for my final project!
