Dear visitor
I’m Jules, and this is my documentation website !
Here, you will find information about all the assignments and the projects I realised during the Fabacademy program (2021 & 2022).
If you don’t know much about Fabacademy, please consider watching the video below and visit fabacademy.org. To summarize, it is an amazing way of spending your free time and … night time.
In this program, you will learn how to make (almost anything) by using digital fabrication technology. I other words, you’ll learn how to control machines that brings your ideas to the physical world.
To learn more about me, please check my presentation page and to know more about my final project, you may check out my final project.
Enjoy reading !

Feel free to hack and adapt anything I’ve done !
Continuing from 2021
I began fabacademy in 2021 with the french fablab La Machinerie. I’m now taking the 2022 session as a continuing student at Agrilab
What is fabacademy ?
What is the Fab Academy Program?
The Fab Academy is a fast paced, hands-on learning experience where students learn rapid-prototyping by planning and executing a new project each week, resulting in a personal portfolio of technical accomplishments.
Fab Academy Distributed Educational Model
It offers a distributed rather than distance educational model, students learn in local workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines, which are then connected globally by content sharing and video for interactive classes.
Join the Fab Academy Network
Fab Academy runs in more than 70 Fab Labs, for more than 250 students per year in the largest campus of the world. Fab Academy Program is part of the Academany, the Academy of Almost Anything.
