Pablo Zuloaga Betancourt

I´m a Colombian Advertising Creative Director, with a Master in Design for Emergent Futures. Learning how to hack the world and the thing that surround me to make them better. I do consultancy in Creativity, Design Research, Innovation, Design Thinking and Future Thinking.

I took FabAcademy lessons as part of my Master In Design for Emergent Futures but beside the learnings I decided to finish the course and get the certificate to be part of the Fab Foundation, and further develop my prototype and my thesis, which is a methodology I´m working on to teach digital fabrication skills, related to farming and sustainability, to people in rural areas, and do a knowledge exchange with people in urban areas.

I see my FabAcademy Final Project, as a STEAM education toy that will help me sponsor my research with my educational methodology project.

  5. WEEK 5 - 3D Scanning and Printing:
    - Identify the advantages and limitations of 3D printing.
    - Apply design methods and production processes to show your understanding of 3D printing.
    - Demonstrate how 3D scanning technology can be used to digitize object(s).
  6. Week 6 - Electronics Design:
    - Select and use software to design PCB circuit boards.
    - Demonstrate workflows used in circuit board design.
    - Design, mill and solder a circuit board for a micro-controller.
  7. Week 7 - Computer Controlled Machining:
    - Make (design+mill+assemble) something big.
    - Demonstrate 2D design development for CNC production.
    - Describe workflows for CNC production.
  8. Week 8 - Embedded Programming:
    - Read the datasheet for the micro-controller you are programming.
    - Identify relevant information in a micro-controller datasheet.
    - Implement programming protocols, to control the board.
    - Program the board you have made to do something, with as many different programming languages and programming environments as possible.
  9. Week 9 - Input Devices:
    - Measure something: add a sensor to a micro-controller board that you have designed and read it.
    - Demonstrate workflows used in sensing something with input device(s) and MCU board.
    - Use different type of sensors and monitor information through a serial port.
  10. Week 10 - Digital Fabrication Applications and Implications:
    - Define the scope of your personal project.
    - Develop a project plan for the project.
  11. Week 11 - Output Devices:
    - Add an output device to a micro-controller board you've designed and program it to do something
    - Make analogue and digital inputs to interact with different outputs.
    - Demonstrate workflows used in controlling an output device(s) with MCU board you have designed.
  12. Week 12 - Interface and Application Programming:
    - Write an application that interfaces a user with an input and/or output device that you made.
    - Interpret and implement design and programming protocols to create a Graphic User Interface (GUI).
