How to make [almost] anything

Welcome. My name is Jakob and at the time writing (2025), I am finishing my degree in Computer and Systems Engineering (M.Sc.) at the Ilmenau University of Technology.

This web page is the documentation and basis of evaluation for my projects during the Fab Academy, a course that teaches digital fabrication methods and rapid prototyping. Lectures were held by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, director of The Center for Bits and Atoms at the MIT. Each week, a new project had to be planned and finished. For a rough idea of what I learned during the course, you can check my final project. If you are interested in detailed, in-depth reports, you can check the weekly assignments.

The institution which I am participating the course at is the FabLab at the TU Ilmenau with Ferdinand Meier as the local instructor.
