Garrett Nelson - FabAcademy 2022 site

This is a site for documenting the projects for FabAcademy 2022. All the failures, and all the successes.

This website was created between January to June of 2022. This website is a diary of what happened over those 6 months. It has errors, poor grammar, spelling mistakes, and a few technical mistakes. The amount of work for completing FabAcademy was such that there was little time to review and edit documentation. Most of the documentation was more like a stream of conciousness and raw data, than a well-crafted “How To” that I would have liked. That said, it should contain enough information that most of these projects can be duplicated.

The site is broken down into 3 main areas. There is the weekly worklogs that are a quick diary of what I did during each week, along with random projects and experiments. Then there is the weekly assignments, which have the various projects for each week, and finally the Final Project.

I spent a lot of time on FabAcademy. I hope the knowledge I documented here can be helpful to others. And I’m proud to say that while it was sometimes doubtful, I graduated FabAcademy.
