  - 🟢 = completed
  - 🟡 = WIP
  - 🔴 = not start yet
- Have 2–3 assignments left (excluding the final project proposal)
- Haven’t worked much on the final project proposal
- Main lectures: 3–4 weeks behind
Problems:
- I will be attending an intensive learning program starting in week 13, so I might not have time to catch up or work on the final project proposal (or the actual project)
- The presentation date overlaps with the program
conclusion:
- I've decided to retake this course in 2026.
- I'm still very interested in many topics from this class, so I will try to complete as many of the unfinished assignments as I can.

Hi, My name is Supanat Deawrattanakun from Bangkok, Thailand.

I interested in Human-Computer Interaction, Interactive Arts, Wearable devices and Computational Neuroscience.

I enrolled in this course to explore the area of synthetic biology, and share my experience from this course with my communities.

I heard about this course from here
why I interested in this course?
- practice my ability to learn something hard from the field that I have little to no experience and knowledge about.
- To practice my ability to balance my schedule
- To improve my writing skills (in English)
- To broaden my perspective about technology
  - I want to understand how people develop new technologies related to biology
- I want to explore how we can bridge the gap between research, projects and art
- I want to find inspiration for something like; Can we learn and do hard things in fun ways?
I began to track my time that spent in this course, begin at 2025-03-25, so this might be useful for people with no background in biology who want to take this course.
