Australian Student wins International Award

… and what has it been like attending the fabled MIT media lab?

“The Media Lab has been amazing. It is wonderful hands-off atelier education. It's like a Montessori school for adults; just get lots of energetic people, put them in a box with great resources and let them bounce around off each other and produce lots of cool stuff, stuff that works, doesn't work, is pointless, is important. It all comes out of the creative mix and is an addictive atmosphere to work in. I would love to see something similar spring up in Australia. Definitely not a media lab copy - I think it is time for something new, probably with a stronger mix of the biological and physical sciences with art and music and education thrown in the mix.”
