I've been doing the 28 day Grasshopper Challenge course, and honestly, it feels like someone finally cracked the code for learning Grasshopper without crying into your keyboard. The daily mix of drawing, making little models, and reflecting somehow turns parametric thinking into something...fun? It's gentle, brilliantly structured, and sneaks fundamentals into your brain before you realise it. It's not just great for beginners, intermediate users will get a hugh amount out of it too. Its such a cleverly designed course that it really deserves the attention and support of anyone interested in mastering Grasshopper.

This exercise proved for me that even the simplest Grasshopper steps can give complex and elegant outcomes.

I have just started the '28 Day Grasshopper Challenge' this month and wanted to share some words related with it. From the very first day, I realized this was no ordinary task. Ertunç asks you to create a geometry/model, but he makes you aware of the steps you take while creating this model. He also helps you create the model by giving you the necessary instructions in advance, but he doesn't overwhelm you with strict sets of instructions. What makes the course unique is that you don't use Grasshopper at first to create these models. You build your idea with pencil, paper, and scissors according to your own rules. I like this!

- The one thing that I learnt today I miss my university days :) It's been a long time since I last used a craft knife. Making a mockup of an idea and writing down the steps you take to make that mockup step by step is, as far as I understand, quite related to the concept of ‘computational design’.

- The one thing that I learnt today. To think properly in a Grasshopper-like way, you have to forget all the features of Rhino3D and think about modeling in its most ‘core’ form. For me, the most logical way to do this was to make sketches using paper and pencil.
