I am part of the 2013 intake of the Fab Academy, a Digital Fabrication Program directed by Neil Gershenfeld of MIT's Center For Bits and Atoms. This website will be the place where I document my progress, class assignments and thoughts.
Students at the Fab Academy learn:
how to use a Fab Lab's digital fabrication tools for rapid prototyping
Epilog Mini Lasercutter
Roland MDX-20 Milling Machine
3D printer
Roland CAMM-1 Servo GX-24 Desktop Vinyl Cutter
ShopBot
electronics design and production by producing circuit boards using a variety of sensors and output devices.
how to program AVR microcontrollers on the boards they have produced
molding and casting
3D scanning and printing
