as a student
Hello as I already mentioned in the header of my portfolio I am a design student in Schwäbisch Gmünd. I started studying here 2 years ago, after I finished my german Abitur. In the second semester I started to engage myself in the "AstA" of the university because I wanted to get an insight into university's structure. I initiated a Erasmus-Buddy programm to help foreign students to integrate in our university. I also organized a interaction tech lunch where students from our Interaction design semester introduce new technologies to the freshmen, to show them existing possibilities in technology. Last semester me and my partners of the project "polymorfeo" were allowed to exhibit our project at the international design fair in Milan, because we were among the best 10 teams in contest. This Semester I achieved a scholarship from the "Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes" the oldest and biggest Acedemic Foundation in Germany.
