Looking around to understand where I stand as a professional, I got quickly disappointed with what Interaction means in the business world of design. It seems that nowadays companies see the screen side of interaction, almost directly translating Interaction design as interface design. Wanting to merge the physical and the digital world I decided to follow the Fab Academy in the Fab Lab Amsterdam.
The Fab Academy will help me dive into the world of digital fabrication conducting a different assignment every week on:
Week 1: Principles and practices
Week 2: Computer-aided design
Week 3: Computer-controlled cutting
Week 4: Electronics production
Week 5: 3D scanning and printing
Week 6: Electronics design
Week 7: Embedded programming
Week 8: Computer-controlled machining
Week 9: Molding and casting
Week 10: Input devices
Week 11: Output devices
Week 12: Composites
Week 13: Networking and communications
Week 14: UI and application programming
Week 15: Applications and implications
Week 16: Mechanical | Machine design
Week 17: Invention | Intellectual property
Week 18: Final project development
Final Project
