This repository documents my journey through digital fabrication, where I explore, learn, and apply new tools and technologies.
Here you will find my weekly assignments, experiments, challenges, and reflections, as well as the development process of my final project. This space represents my growth, creativity, and passion for making, learning by doing, and turning ideas into real, tangible projects.
Accompany me on this adventure as I continue to learn, create, and push my limits. 🚀✨
My name is Micaela Lucrecia Córdova Carmelino, I am 21 years old, and I am a Business Engineering student at Universidad del Pacífico, currently in my seventh academic cycle. I consider myself a happy, optimistic, and motivated person, always excited to learn, grow, and give my best in everything I do.
I enjoy helping others, doing sports, and participating in volunteer activities. Professionally, I am completing an internship at a mining company in the logistics area, and I serve as Vice President of Proyectos UP, a student organization focused on creating impactful projects and promoting leadership. I also work as a laboratory supervisor at my university, supporting hands-on learning.
I discovered Fab Academy in 2025 and immediately fell in love with digital fabrication. I've been connected to this world since high school, always fascinated by turning ideas into real, tangible projects. I am incredibly excited to keep learning, creating, and pushing myself to turn ideas into reality.
