Learning Assistants Spring 2025

Hi, I’m Anya! This semester, I’m thrilled to be an Interaction Lab Learning Assistant, here to support you with your projects. I love using code to create fun, beautiful, and sometimes even thought-provoking works of art — and I can’t wait to help you do the same.

Outside of art, I enjoy long walks, meeting new people, and discovering fresh perspectives about the world. I’m naturally curious, so if you have ideas you want to bring to life with the tools at Interaction Lab, don’t hesitate to reach out. Whether you need a second pair of hands, a fresh set of eyes, or just someone to brainstorm with, I’m here to help. Let’s create something amazing!

Hi everyone! I am Wanyu Chen, and you can also call me Kitty. I am a sophomore majoring in IMA and I am interested in digital art and interactive design. In my spare time, I love traveling, visiting art galleries, and having dessert. During my freshman year, I took Interaction Lab and found it very interesting to play with circuits and codes, get the audience involved in my designs and express my ideas. So I’m really excited to be an LA in the upcoming semester and experience the fun of this course together with you. Looking forward to meeting you! :-D

Hey I’m Katy:) Currently a sophomore majoring in IMA. All the contemporary art analysis and practical Adobe tools taught in the Communications Lab were great fun to me. It would be my great pleasure if I could help with your creative work in the class this semester! You are always welcome to book my office hours if you have any questions about brainstorming your projects or utilizing the software and equipment. See you around in the studio haha.
