The IOB this year was a success in many ways. The most important one being that we decided to focus on our Sketch culture and make the feeling of SKETCH more relevant and visible for the students of industrial design. We were joined in our flowing sessions by Konijn Design who has been developing a prototype Sketch table for shared thinking moments. More info about their table can be found on www.twistedthinking.nl.

This morning Mike and I discussed the possibilities of an insert in the GPS Master week, starting the 31st of January 2011. Together with Annemiek van Boeijen, Esther Zwijnenberg en Professor Pieter-Jan Stappers we explored the basis JAM needs to create and facilitate a valuable addition to the Generic Productivity Skills program. This cross master platform will work at exposing the skills that are shared by all masters. JAM will get one whole day to give 250 master students the opportunity to explore the effects of thinking with sketches. The 1st of february will be the day!

After lunch I was invited to take part in a jurypanel judging 9 digital sketch enthusiasts for their efforts in sketching out a product. The winner received a WACOM intuos pad. After finishing judging I tal;ked with Peter Kurstjens about some work and development with WACOM.
I also met up with Sanne Kistenmaker of the MUZUS who opened my eyes to LASERCUTTING! Fablab here we come!

Tommorrow is time to reset and rest my legs. Thinking about a building filled with JAMmed enthusiasts sketching their thoughts to new levels...together!
