Fab Academy, in brief
A 20-week programme in which you learn the art of making (almost) everything. In Waag's Fab Lab, you get to work with various (digital fabrication) tools and - under expert guidance - develop skills in electronics, programming, design and turning concepts into tangible objects. You can use practical experience to bring ideas to life in your prototypes.
BioHack Academy in brief
In the BioHack Academy, you will dive into shaping the future of biotechnology and learn how to build your own bio-lab, how to grow living 'factories', and how to code and document your experiments. Think about growing biomaterials like fuel, food, filaments, drugs, fragrances, fungi and more.
What is Waag Academy?
Learning by doing. What better way to prepare for the future than by designing it yourself with your own protocol or artwork? Besides traditional schooling, other methods exist to develop skills and prepare us for the future. At Waag Academy, making is central, and you can use technological developments to explore its effects on our daily lives.
