Fab Academy is a course from the Fab Foundation which spun out of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms. This class is a survey of digital fabrication and design. The course is taught in a distributed model where each student signs up with a node or Fab Lab local to them. Each week for 20 weeks a new topic is introduced in a global online lecture and then students meet their local instructors for hands on practice in their lab. The first subject in the course is website development. Each student has 1 week to customize a portfolio they will use for the rest of the class and each subsequent week they must document their work on their site.
2022 Assistant Teaching
In 2022 I came back to Fab Academy as an un official assistant teacher. The vibe of working on concise projects on a tight deadline is exciting, especially when I’m not the one on the deadline. So I asked to come back to lend my knowledge and help in whatever way I could. I may return in 2023 as the lead instructor.
