HACK THE FUTURE

This is a personal space where I will learn to hack different objects, services, and systems to make things work differently.
All this experimentation is part of a learning process of how everything works, to make it work in a better way.

End of Master

23th of June, 2020

The Process:

The master is divided into three terms in which, week by week, I will reflect on what I have learned and I will also upload the work done.

REF = Reflection
WRK = Work
LCT = Lecture
