Grasshopper: Computational Mindset Coaching (online)

 

Grasshopper: Computational Mindset Coaching

Offered by: Tekne Learn

Are you struggling to get your head around Grasshopper? A more unique approach may help.

The Tekne Learn Grasshopper: CMC program (Computational Mindset Coaching) is an 8-week design program consisting of 1-1 Coaching, Video Sessions, Weekly Design Challenges, Group Masterclass Sessions, and access to a Private Student Discord Channel.

In contrast to other Grasshopper courses, you'll have a dedicated coach working with you 1:1 from the start of the program. This approach allows you to tailor your learning (if you like) to any personal goals or projects you want to achieve with Grasshopper.

Over the course of the program, you will build your own portfolio of work, so you are actually applying what you are learning in practical ways—as opposed to following along with generic tutorials.

You will learn why we do things in certain ways and develop your own logic for problem solving in Grasshopper. This will ultimately advance your skills much quicker, as you will develop repeatable workflows and methodologies that can be applied to any design problem in the future.

If you would like to discuss the details of the program and how it may benefit you, please complete this form to book a call with Tekne Learn.

food4Rhino webinar: App Builder for ShapeDiver

9 July 2024 at 5 PM CEST

During this webinar, ShapeDiver's team will introduce App Builder, their latest feature. This feature allows computational designers to build dynamic and contextual user interfaces for online applications using only Grasshopper, eliminating the need for additional web development. 

Speakers:

• Mathieu Huard. Mathieu is the Head of Product, as well as one of the founders of ShapeDiver. He focuses on expanding the ShapeDiver product to cater to various industries, leveraging parametric design in their workflow. In the context of the AEC industry, he helped push the collaboration and interoperability functionalities of ShapeDiver, such as bridging the online platform with various design software suites, including Autodesk Forma. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. Before founding ShapeDiver, he spent several years with the Vienna-based company Evolute, developing software and consulting for architects and engineering firms. He also gained experience building tools for Rhino and Grasshopper. 
  
  
• Edwin Hernández. Edwin Hernandez is Head of Projects and Senior Computational Designer at ShapeDiver. He studied Architecture at Andes University in Bogotá, Colombia, and Computer Animation at the SAE Institute in Melbourne, Australia. While still studying, he began working as a "solopreneur" with clients in Australia and New Zealand. These clients provided projects that allowed him to gain experience using BIM software, parametric design, and web coding. His experience enabled him to join the ShapeDiver team in Vienna, Austria, in 2017. He has managed multiple projects across more than 15 different industries. During this time, he has learned how to create highly optimized and complex parametric models using C#, custom plugins for Grasshopper, and cloud applications based on Grasshopper.
