Fab Academy 2021 zit erop! Vanaf januari tot mei maakten studenten nieuw werk tijdens Fab Academy Amsterdam in Waag, onder de bezielde leiding van docent Henk Buursen. Met trots presenteren we hun werk. Op fablab.waag.org vind je meer info over Fab Academy en het FabLab van Waag.
Fab Academy wordt gehost in meer dan 70 Fabricatie Labs over de hele wereld en heeft meer dan 250 studenten per jaar. Tijdens de vijfmaandelijkse cursus, die simultaan over de hele wereld wordt geopend met een welkomstwoord door oprichter Neil Gershenfeld (onderzoeker bij Massachusetts Institute of Technology), leren studenten om prototypes te maken en met digitale apparaten en methodes te werken door elk week een nieuw project uit te voeren. Dit leidt tot een persoonlijke portfolio met technische resultaten. Ga naar fabacademy.org voor meer achtergrondinfo over deze internationale beweging.
