=Your task: Do a project about anything digital or any aspect of digital culture= We'll devote every Monday from now until close to the end of the course to this project. This is a best effort project. Pick something that excites or interests you that you don't already know how to do. See the links above about the Maker Movement. Your project doesn't have to be a specifically "Maker" thing but try to approach it in that spirit.

Things to do:
Make a device Make a robot Make an app Make a website about an idea (See interesting links) Write an essay Make a video Create an interpretive dance Create an android app Learn a language like Java or Javascript (or any other) Learn sketchup
