Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD, US, Teacher Assistant for Materials and Fabrications

This course was to teach junior architecture students how to take an
architectural concept and relate it to specific materials, introduce them to
different fabrication methods required for those materials, and introduce them
to more advanced CAD software and plugins like Grasshopper. The instructor advised me to introduce the students to simple grasshopper coding, modeling making techniques, and fabrication methodologies to help them envision and showcase the ideas they had for their projects.
