Brief Biographical Sketch:
Vincent is a freshman at Brandeis University studying Neuroscience. He is a violinist Brandeis-Wellesely Orchestra, and is deeply involved in Brandeis's annual Hackathon, DEISHacks. In his free time, Vincent enjoys reading, hiking, cooking, fencing, designing odd things in CAD, and botany. Before coming to Brandeis, Vincent worked as a design apprentice and educator at the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, CT, for 5 years. The classes he teaches through Brandeis Splash are often smaller parts of larger classes he has taught or developed in the past. He specialized in computer management and analogue circuitry design, with a flare for high voltage demonstrations. He is an Eagle Scout. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)E376: Tenseintegrity Structures: The Art of Experimentation in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 09, 2022)
If you could make an engineering class a seminar: that is what this class will be.
Using the principles tens-integrity structures, (structures which are self-sustaining based on competing forces of tension), you will learn how to apply the principles of rapid prototyping, creative thought, and working as a team to rise to a series of challenges with the given materials: various lengths of slotted dowels and rubber bands.
This will be a hands on class. You will be given a series of challenges designed to be more than your structure can handle. You will partake in rapid prototyping. Your prototypes will break. The key is learning how to iterate on and improve that design, and how to have fun while doing it.
