Michael Tsai's online digital portfolio

Our focus this semester is to explore how a digital creation experience can function in the Makeshop. With a current gap and request to bring programming concepts into the process, we have proposed a tangible block interface to teach the basics through a storytelling framework. The physical blocks will represent characters, actions, modifiers, etc. in the digital space, and a projector will provide a window for children to explore and create!

This semester I also spent my time to write an article for Imagine magazine from Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The article explained what I was working on for project CSI at ETC.

Here’s the PDF format of the article.
