1. State of the art, project management and documentation¶

Research & Ideation¶

I’m taking the Fabricademy course as a single node, which means I usually work from my own Fab Lab with support from a remote instructor, completing weekly assignments. However, for a certain period, actually attending classes at a Fabricademy node with other participants is stimulating and offers valuable hands-on experiences. Because of this, I arranged to spend one month at Fab Lab Barcelona to participate in person.

・Review the class archive to check which tools can be used for each ocation in order to make own documentation.

・Think how to do make a structure of the page.

References & Inspiration¶

Participating in Fab Conferences and Feature Fabrics Mexico has been the inspiration for me to take the Fabricademy course.
