Week 1. Plan and sketch a potential final project.

Week 2. Build a personal site describing me and the final project. Upload it to the class archive.

Week 3. Model a possible final project, and post it on class page with original 2D and 3D files.

Week 4. Lasercut and vinylcut, design and make a parametric press-fit construction kit, which can be assembled in multiple ways.

Week 5. Make an in-circuit programmer by milling the PCB.

Week 6. Design and 3D print an object that could not be made subtractively, 3D scan an object.

Week 7. Redraw the echo hello-world board, add a button and LED (with current-limiting resistor), check the design rules, and make it.

Week 8. Make something big (on a CNC machine).

Week 9. Read a microcontroller data sheet, program a board to do something.

Week 10. Design a 3D mould, machine it, and cast parts from it.

(Week 11. Break week of Fab Academy.)

Week 12. Measure something: add a sensor to a microcontroller board designed and read it.

Week 13. Design and add an output device to a microcontroller board and read it.

Week 14. Write an application that interfaces with an input and/or output device made earlier.

Week 15. Design and build a wired &/or wireless network connecting at least two processors.

Week 16. Design a machine that includes mechanism + actuation + automation, build the passive parts and operate it manually.

Week 17. Actuate and automate your machine. Document the group project and your individual contribution.

Week 18. Design and produce something with a digital fabrication process not covered in another assignment.

Week 19. Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered.

Week 20. Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

Week 21. Complete your final project.
