Hi, I am Safinah.


I am a graduate student at the Personal Robots Group at MIT Media Lab. I am interested in social robots, assistive technology, and machine ethics.
This is my website for the course - 'How to Make (Almost) Anything', where I document successes and failures of class projects.
The goal of this class is to be able to learn various physical prototyping and electronics making techniques.
