  1. Interactive informative\/informational website<\/strong> on wild food & medicine in the tristate area targeted to beginners but still useful for intermediate to advanced foragers. Website would open to initial viewers (based on cookies) with an informative introduction using two or three slide-like pages (with option to skip) on \u201cwhat?\u201d \u201cwhy?\u201d \u201chow?\u201d of wild food\/foraging\/herbalism — there would also be revisitable home tab options for these three pages. The site itself would have many informational pages on specific plants by region or type (leafy green, fungi, fruit, spices, medicinal) as well as recipes. For the exhibition I\u2019d display it on a fairly large monitor with keyboard and mouse access; I\u2019d have to think of something else eye catching though, maybe a brochure or poster or something else beyond a website on a monitor and me trying to give people my elevator pitch. Creating a website would be most in tune with my skill set and I would challenge myself by using React and Node.js, two things I have near to no experience with but have wanted to learn for a long while. I feel like this would be the most usable project post-graduation.  <\/li>
  2. It\u2019s difficult for me to think of something in the opposite direction (away from strongest skill being websites and my biggest passion being plants) but I\u2019ll try — I could make an interactive art piece<\/strong> using glassblowing, the laser cutter with clear acrylic, and program it to be interactive by physical pressure. I could blow large bubbles of glass of various sizes (I have access to a glassblowing studio) that people could touch to cause the inner lighting to change color depending on the level and area of pressure. This would have no use beyond being a real cool installation that shows my ability to program physical interactivity (not that I know how yet). <\/li>
  3. Interactive informative\/informational physical model<\/strong> on wild food & medicine in the tristate area targeted to beginners. I would create a physical setup using the laser cutter and acrylic as well as the CNC machine with programmed interactive components. I have no experience working with robotic-type coding so this would be a big project. I\u2019m worried that me not knowing what I\u2019d do with it and how I\u2019d store it after leaving TCNJ would affect my motivation. This could also get out of hand very easily (as in, I\u2019d bite off way more than I can chew).<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
