Khushbu Kshirsagar

Khushbu Kshirsagar is an artistically inclined engineer, maker and educator. Her work follows an interdisciplinary approach to making at an intersection of engineering design, art and mathematics. As a maker, she finds herself more intrigued by the "making process" than the final product and she finds it as expressive as story-telling. She designs educational technologies in the form of interactive mechanical art, paper zines and puzzles; with the intention to take one away from the computer screen, and to enable accessibility in tinkering while learning. Khushbu is currently developing Zine Machine, a paper-based math tinkering kit that uses two-dimensional mechanical movements to enable physical sense-making about mathematical functions.
