Something really great about the MDP students is their willingness to share their knowledge with one another. Sometimes we barter our skills – “You teach me Actionscript, I’ll teach you CSS.” Or, “You help me build something in the tool shop and I’ll pay for your tofu soup in Koreatown.”
This term two MDP students, M4 Justin Gier and alumni Charles Lu, set-up a weekly Processing workshop for interested folks. Processing is an open source programming language for image, animation and interaction.
This workshop is really a show of one of the ways students take initiative to expand their knowledge to benefit their research and projects. This is one of the reasons I really enjoy the MDP. Learning is more than just going to class. It’s about sharing and exchanging knowledge with your peers.
