Ideas for Tango Project and Materiality Studio

Conversation today at iStage regarding the Tango Project.

  • I will be responsible for the small electronics space off the iStage,  now known as the Materiality Studio.
  • I will create a list of things I need for the Materiality Studio.
  • I will talk with Pete about creating a wall-sized white board on the North wall of the fish bowl.
  • We could potentially each write up our summer projects on the white wall and work with it real-time to facilitate communications.
  • I will get in touch with Jessica Raijko (sp?) re the Tango Project experiments.  Let's have tea!

My goals for the summer include:

1.  Publish original research work on entrainment based on Tango Project results.

2.  Collect a suite of sensor solutions for a variety of applications.

3.  Identify and put together information for relevant grant proposals.

4.  Continue to pull together knowledge/information about novel materials, including graphene.

5.  Determine what would be required to do 3D printing of novel materials.
