Salam, I’m Sarah, A maker & Lifelong Learner
I’ve always loved making and even helped launch two makerspaces in Riyadh. Over the past few years, work pulled me away from that creative side, so I joined Fab Academy to reconnect with what I love and explore new opportunities. Here, you can follow my documentation through the assignments and projects I create during the program. (pages will be added each week).
