  Merging Art and Technology
  This is a special course- in it we mix two populations of people doing sometimes very different things- one group studies technology, mathematics and computer programming, the other aesthetics, design and craft. Both groups can be creative in their own ways. In this course we want to get them working together, thinking, solving problems, designing and building together. It is our firm belief that working together can generate better results than each one of the groups can generate by themselves.
