 What is the ACC Maker Diploma?

​

The Maker Diploma is a hands-on training program designed to empower people with the knowledge they need to take ideas from concepts to prototypes.

The American Center, U.S. Embassy in Cairo has been a strategic partner for the program since day one, and now it funds up to 72 students per year to be part of the diploma.

 

A Maker Diploma graduate will be able to conceptualize, model, and create a medium-fidelity prototype of a smart device or a solution; which fulfills a personal demand or solves a local challenge.

 

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

​

• Use Computer software to design and simulate physical objects

• Fabricate objects from wooden sheets using Laser Cutting machine

• Fabricate plastic objects  using 3D-Printing technology

• Make electronic circuits that do smart actions based on inputs from users and sensors

• Integrate and Build a device that does smart function(s)

• Document and Communicate development processes
