1. Principles and practices
Sketch a final project idea in which to apply the skills learned through the Fab Academy program.
2. Project management
My Git journey starts here.
3. Computer-Aided design
Use software to design in 2D, 3D and to render, animate or simulate your designs.
4. Computer-controlled cutting
Design and lasercut a parametric press-fit construction kit. Cut something on the vinylcutter.
5. Electronics production
Make an in-circuit programmer by milling the PCB, test it, and try other PCB fabrication process.
6. 3D Scanning and printing
Design and 3D print an object that could not be easily made subtractively. 3D scan an object and prepare it for printing.
7. Electronics design
Redraw one of the echo hello-world boards, add a button and LED, check the design rules, make it, test it!
8. Computer-controlled machining
Make (design+mill+assemble) something big!
9. Embedded programming
Program the board you have made to do something!
10. Mechanical design
Design a machine that includes mechanism, actuation and automation
11. Input devices
Add a sensor to a microcontroller board and read it
12. Molding and casting
Design a 3D mold, mill it, and use it to cast parts!
13. Output devices
Add an output device to a board and program it to do something
14. Networking and communications
Design, build, and connect wired or wireless nodes
15. Interface and application programming
Write an application that interfaces a user with an input/output device
16. Wildcard week
Design and produce something with a digital fabrication process not covered in another assignment
17. Applications and implications
Propose a final project masterpiece!
18. Invention, intellectual property, and income
Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project
