Sophy chu
Hello everyone! My name is Sophy and grew up transiently between Taipei and "Vancouver". I am currently working in the Department of Educational Technology at Langara College, which is located on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam First Nations. I am fascinated by the intersections between language, philosophy, psychology and technology, so I am already very excited about the the interdisciplinary nature and multimedia approach to this class!
EXPECTATIONS & GOALS
MAKER PHILOSOPHY
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES
MAKER PHILOSOPHY
DO IT YOURSELF!
Much of my personal and educational philosophy is drawn from DIY-ethos of counterculture movements, participating in online communities and grassroot activist organizations, and the belief in the importance of decentralization of knowlege! Some common values include:
- Creativity
- Resourcefulness
- Independence and agency
- Community building and sharing
Most of my teachers were from visual art backgrounds and incorporated many elements into our curriculum. My teachers created space for exploration through these activities and laid a strong foundation for my self-directed learning tendencies to develop and flourish. In high school, I joined an experimental art club where we explored many different mediums; printmaking (e.g. linocut, screenprinting), zine-making, textile/fibre arts, etc. Many experienced artists were invited to lead workshops to share their experiences , which fostered my strong belief in the importance of sharing knowledge and community building. In university, I found myself wiring circuit boards and building robots in my computer science classes, adding another dimension of "design-thinking" to my maker skillsets, reaffirming my belief and need for Art in STEM.
Expectations & Goals
For this course, I hope to learn more about the pedagogical theories on creating liberatory and inclusive spaces, expand my understanding of multimodalities and multiliteracies, and get more hands-on with being creative and messy with making new things with everyone. I am especially excited to expand my skillsets and find more opportunities to apply what I have learned in this class towards my craft and community spaces as well.
Looking forward to learning and making alongside everyone this semester!
