 What is the Advanced Maker Diploma?

 

The Advanced Maker Diploma is a training  program designed to allow the makers to develop their hands-on experience with digital fabrication tools and rapid-prototyping techniques that can be utilized within a Fab Lab.

​

Participants will be planning and executing diverse high-fidelity projects, resulting in a personal portfolio of technical accomplishments.

  

We are adapting the horizontal learning approach by tackling different tracks, instead of going deep into one topic, including:

​

• Digital Fabrication and CNC Machines 

• Design for Digital Fabrication

• Embedded Programming

• High-level Programming

• Electronics Development and PCB Production

• Project Management and Documentation

• Spiral Development 

 

Laser Cutting   3D Printing   PCB Milling   Fusion360   Arduino   Electronics  Python  Documentation   DesignThinking    ProjectManagement
