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 a 21-year-old Business Engineering student at Universidad del Pacífico, currently in my seventh academic semester. I consider myself an optimistic and motivated person, always eager to learn, grow, and give my best in everything I do.
I enjoy helping others, practicing sports, and participating in volunteer initiatives. Professionally, I am currently completing an internship in the logistics department of a mining company. I also serve as Vice President of Proyectos UP, a student organization focused on developing impactful projects and promoting leadership. Additionally, I work as a laboratory supervisor at my university, supporting hands-on and experiential learning.
I discovered Fab Academy in 2025 and immediately became passionate about digital fabrication. My interest in this field began in high school, where I first became fascinated by the process of turning ideas into tangible projects. I am excited to continue learning, creating, and challenging myself to transform ideas into reality.
