Academany Programs
The Fab Foundation has been working since 2009 bringing digital fabrication tools and processes to people of all ages, teaching the skills and knowledge of digital fabrication, developing global distributed programs on digital fabrication, synthetic biology, interactive textiles and more to come. Check out the different programs and educational services that the Foundation offers!
We run a global distributed academy for everyone who wants to learn how to make (almost) anything.
Academany is the first global distributed campus for learning how to make, and grow, almost anything. Learn more about our courses:
FABACADEMY
We offer advanced technical education through the Fab Academy which provides instruction and supervises investigation of mechanisms, applications, and implications of digital fabrication. The Fab Academy is a worldwide, distributed campus utilizing fab labs as classrooms and libraries for a new kind of technical literacy. Students learn in local workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines, which are then connected globally by content sharing and video for interactive classes.
