As a Graduate Teaching Assistant for ARCH 636: Material Formations at UPenn's Weitzman School of Design, I had the rewarding experience of introducing and mentoring students in generative design using the Grasshopper and Rhino platform, robotic fabrication with ABB robots, and foundational Python programming. I’m proud of my students’ accomplishments, showcased here in the form of their outstanding assignments and projects.
