After months of relentless learning, building, documenting, and pushing the boundaries of digital fabrication, Fab Academy 2025 has officially wrapped up its final presentations. Across five days, students from around the world showcased their final projects—each one a unique embodiment of technical mastery, personal creativity, and the power of the global Fab Lab network.

🌍 A Global Effort in Numbers

This year’s edition was one of the most ambitious and diverse to date:

• 188 students

• 58 labs across 35+ countries

• 130 final projects presented

• 111 graduates (and counting!)

From interactive art to practical robotics, environmental sensors to education-focused devices, Fab Academy 2025 projects reflected the variety of interests, contexts, and challenges that students are addressing through digital fabrication.

🌟 Highlights from the Final Presentations

Here are just a few standout projects from this year's talented graduates:

• Lumi by Noel Saji – A quirky robot-TV that “wakes up” when nobody’s watching. It plays animations, walks like a toy, and switches to normal TV mode when it detects a person nearby.

• Chocobot by Roshan Subba – A fun and educational robot designed to teach children the importance of recycling and cleanliness, using interaction and storytelling.

• GlowSense by Ancy Roshan – A pair of lamps that communicate wirelessly, glowing to signal presence and connection between distant users.

• Cultural Memory Globe by Shoko Kudomi – A device that plays video and light animations reflecting the culture and climate of countries around the world.

• Bending Bench by Pepe Vazquez – An interactive bench that visualizes structural stress in real time, making engineering principles tangible and fun.

• Nap Pod by Tshering Dorji – A personal cocoon for power naps, complete with mood lighting and sound controls via capacitive touch.

From intelligent lighting systems to modular learning kits, underwater robotics to immersive installations—this year's projects were as diverse as they were impactful.
