It might sound cliche but I had to say it ,I want to express how grateful I'm for this opportunity. During the period of Fab Academy I grew, changed and gained skills. I got to know some amazing people from the community of Fab Lab. I want to thank our Great mentor Mohamed Kamel ,he never imposed ,he gave us the chance to express ourselves freely through the assignments and the projects ,to search to figure stuff out ,but he was always around whenever I needed advice or help, he guided me wisely. And from the amazing people I got to know there is this wonderful person Ahmed Ibrahim .Also there is Maichel Razkalla, I remember that I went to TIEC to complete my CNC assignment he helped me to finish my assignment even though he didn't even start with his assignment yet ,he spent the whole day helping me out. He didn't have to ,but he did it anyway. It was nice to get to know Ahmed Saeed.
I'm fond of how this community really apply the motto learn make share, we all help each other ,we share knowledge ,experiences and the trait that really got my attention is how they are all curious to learn.

May we never loose our curiosity and our passion for learning or knowledge, this is life.

I'm always afraid of the term "Fragmented knowledge”, which means learning titles but you don't really know what to do with it, you feel you have some kind of knowledge, but really it's worthless because it lacks the deep understanding of the subject.Because the content is taken for granted ,without asking yourself the basic questions while learning it like: why ? how?. As for me I try ,but for one subject, in order to learn it really well, it may take years ,on the other hand it's only me and there is only 24 hours a day.
I tell myself that I have to be realistic ,I can always try but I'm aware of the dilemma.
I have to thank the management of San3a Tech /Fab Lab Egypt, they were really supportive and flexible ,sometimes I spent days at the lab,night and day working , I sometimes while trying out or figuring out some tools and components broke it. They were really supportive and whenever there was shortage or something is missing they worked really hard to provide it as soon as possible, which wasn't easy during the pandemic. And from the community of Fab Lab Egypt there is Mohamed El Sayed ,Ahmed Kidwany, Amany Ayman .
I can't complete this acknowledgement without thanking Eng.Mahmoud Kotb and Eng. Mrehan ElShehawy for mentoring me even before Fab Academy, they really inspired me ,their love for life and how they are eager to learn even the smallest details. And of course Dr Dina El-Zanfaly,who encouraged me at the beginning to join Fab Academy. I want to thank Madame Sherry Lassiter ,Mr Jean-Luc Pierite.Last but not least ,Prof. Neil :Thank you it was a life changing experience.
