FINALLY, A PLATFORM THAT TEACHES YOU HOW TO:

Develop a computational mindset in grasshopper

This is EXACTLY what has been missing from Grasshopper’s educational space.

If you have been struggling with Grasshopper & Computational Design, then look no further - the Tekne Learn platform and ROADMAP is your answer.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

“I’ve been learning grasshopper for a while now… but i still don’t get it - it feels like somEthing is missing…”

  • “I’ve followed along with so many tutorials, but I just don’t seem to be progressing… and I need Grasshopper to create my designs.”

  • “I’m not very confident with Grasshopper, but I need to learn quickly, so I don’t fall behind my peers.”

  • “I keep going to learn Grasshopper, but I get overwhelmed by how complex and different to other programs it seems.”

LET'S CHANGE THAT.

get ahead of the game

Most people learn Grasshopper by themselves over a VERY long time. By studying some foundational concepts you can quickly get ahead and accelerate you learning by YEARS.

Learn principles, not components

Learning some key principles is going to give you FAR more experience & help you develop skills much FASTER than blindly following outdated YouTube tutorials. Use TOOLS - not TUTORIALS.

design freedom

Once you understand these principles and how to APPLY them, it is time to MASTER them with practical projects, giving you the skills to design ANYTHING you can imagine using Grasshopper.

INTRODUCING, THE TEKNE LEARN.

computational minDset primer

 A one-of-a-kind PRIMER that will show you how to finally MASTER Grasshopper. Ready to dive in?

IMAGINE THE FEELING - not being lost anymore, knowing exactly HOW to tackle design challenges, solving all problems yourself in Grasshopper…

The Computational Mindset Primer will give you the EXACT steps you need to take to become a MASTER of Grasshopper and Computational Design.

YOU WILL LEARN:

In the PRIMER

comPutational mindset foundations

Generally people follow HUNDREDS of tutorials in an attempt to learn Grasshopper. What these usually cover is HOW to create things, but often miss WHY things are done in those ways.

Learning the base PRINCIPLES will give you a repeatable METHODOLOGY that you can APPLY to nearly any design challenge.

professional structures & organizational principles

Grasshopper is a wonderfully MESSY program for problem solving, which is simultaneously both an blessing and a curse.

Consistently following and applying STRUCTURE and organizational PRINCIPLES to your work will ensure you don’t lose your way.

roadmap to mastering Grasshopper

Mastering Grasshopper does take active learning and practice… there is NO way around it.

However, you can put yourself on the WINNING path by following our tested & proven ROADMAP to success.

From struggling with Grasshopper NOW - to FINALLY writing your own scripts.

Hey There, I'm JAK!

THE PRIMER CREATOR

I have been working with Grasshopper & computational design, for well over 13 years.

During that time I worked in many varied roles as an ARCHITECT - all of which Grasshopper has been central to my design workflow.

From Digital Fabrication days at university - to becoming an advanced FABRICATOR building Art & Architectural installations… from running a Computational Design MASTERS Program - to running projects at FOSTER + PARTNERS.

Through it all, I've truly grasped the challenges of learning Grasshopper — feeling overwhelmed, wasted time, and the need to develop my own workflows. I've been through the struggles so you don't have to. Now, my mission is to empower YOU with the tools to fast-track your journey, and achieve DESIGN FREEDOM!

Take a look inside…

One

GETTING TO GRIPS

A basic overview of Grasshopper, how to navigate around the canvas & understand the process of scripting.
