Amon Millner Visit Amon's website   Amon Millner is a PhD student who designs tools and activities that help youth construct new types of physical and computational creations. His research project, the Hook-ups Initiative, helps kids learn design skills by making physical objects, called Hook-ups, that can control the games, animations, and other computer programs that they have created. The Hook-ups Initiative draws upon the Scratch graphical programming language the group is developing. Millner currently holds three degrees: a BS in Computer Science from the University of Southern California; an MS in Human Computer Interactions from Georgia Tech; and an MS in Media Arts and Science from MIT's Media Lab. He enjoys working with youth in informal learning environments; he serves as a mentor at Computer Clubhouses and develops activities for youth at Fab Labs.   MIT Media Lab | Contact LLK
