Dear My Friend


It has been a long time. Hope you are doing well as always. It is 2024 here.

I am now in Barcelona, Spain attending FabAcademy. (an intensive 5month short course at IAAC) In this course, I am learning all sorts of digital fabrication skills, computer programming, and physical computing.

Every week I get introduced to new skills and I make something with it. At the same time, I am working on my final project which I will be presenting at the end of the course around June 2024.

This web page is my full documentation of my experience at Fab Academy. I will be updating this page at least once a week, so you can see what I am doing in (almost) real time.

Just look around until you get bored, or You can always come back as long as you remember.

Hope to see you soon ;)
