Fab Academy 2019 at Fablab O Shanghai

The 10th edition of Fab Academy, the world's first distributed class on digital fabrication, has been announced and admissions are now open!

Fablab O Shanghai in the College of Design & Innovation of Tongji University is one of the nodes that offer the program worldwide: enroll and experience life at China's number one Design College's Fablab! 

The Fab Academy Diploma is a 5-month part-time learning experience where students plan and execute a new project each week. At Fab Academy you will learn how to envision, prototype and document your ideas through many hours of hands-on experience with digital fabrication tools.

The Fab Diploma is the result of the sum of Fab Academy Certificates. Progress towards the diploma is evaluated by a student's acquired skills rather than time or credits. The Fab Academy is a fast paced, hands-on learning experience where students plan and execute a new project each week. Each individual documents their progress for each project, resulting in a personal portfolio of technical accomplishments.

Fab Academy is a distributed educational model providing a unique educational experience. Each Fab Lab that participates in the Fab Academy program is part of a global Fab Lab / Fab Academy network. These Fab Labs are Nodes that offer the Fab Academy program. Students view and participate in global lectures broadcasted every Wednesdays at 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EST. The lectures are recorded and available to students throughout the semester. In addition to the lectures, there are 2/3 lab days each week where students have access the digital fabrication equipment and personal help with projects. Fab Academy faculty, who are leaders in their respective fields, provide global video lectures, supervise academic content, and guide research. Hands-on instruction in the labs is provided by instructors who supervise and evaluate Certificates, develop and disseminate instructional material, and assist with projects.

The Fab Academy Program is directed by Neil Gershenfeld, director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and globally coordinated by Fab Lab Barcelona team.

FABO will provide scholarship for the students that will successfully graduate and  with job offers in various locations of FABO schools and institutes.

WHY SHOULD I ENROLL?

Fab Academy is internationally reknown to be the most complete course on digital fabrication, based on the popular “How to make almost anything” class from the MIT. You will experience how to work and think the Fablab way going from “I don’t know how to do it, so I will not do it” to “I don’t know how to do it, but I will find a way”.

它是怎样开始的呢？ How did it start?

Fab学院是为了在Fab lab讲授动手能力而开发的，该实验室最初是麻省理工学院比特和原子中心的一个外展项目，现已发展成为一个全球超过500个实验室的网络。Fab学院的教学是基于麻省理工学院的流行快

速成型课程，如何制作(几乎)任何东西而开始的，这都是由Neil Gershenfeld教授讲授的。

Fab Academy was developed to teach hands-on skills in fab labs, which began as an outreach project from MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, and has grown into a global network of more than 500 labs. Fab Academy instruction is based on MIT’s popular rapid-prototyping course How To Make (almost) Anything, both taught by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld.

它是如何工作的呢？ How does it work?

•该方案在1月中旬至6月下旬确立。

•The program takes place from mid January to late June.

•每周，教授尼尔·格申菲尔德（Neil Gershenfeld）都会就话题进行全球性的演讲。

•Every week, prof. Neil Gershenfeld holds a global lecture on a different topic.

•当地实验室的讲师提供有关该主题的动手实践活动，并提供实践相关知识帮助学生完成本周的作业。

•Instructors in local labs provide hands-on activities on the topic, and offer their practical knowledge to  help students develop the week's assignment.

•学生使用实验室材料，设备和机器完成作业，并会立即应用该课程中涵盖的所有概念。当然所有的材料相关费用都包含在学费中。

•Students work on the assignment using lab materials, equipment and machines, immediately applying all the concepts covered in the global and local classes. All the materials are included in the tuition fees.

•学生在Fab Academy档案馆的个人博客中记录他们的进度。

•Students document their progress in a personal blog hosted in the Fab Academy Archive.

•与每周作业相对应的是，学生们正在进行一个个人期末项目，该项目将整合他们在课程中所学到的所有技能。

•In parallel to the weekly assignments, students work on a personal final project which will integrate mastery of all the skills learned during the course.

•完成所有单元和最终项目任务的学生将通过全球评估流程，获得Fab Academy文凭。

•Students who complete all modules and final project go through a global evaluation process that leads to the Fab Academy Diploma.

我会学习使用什么机器？

What machines will I learn to use?

•电脑控制的激光切割机，用于从2D零件压装3D装配。

•A computer-controlled laser cutter, for press-fit assembly of 3D structures from 2D parts.

需要多少时间？

How much time does it take?

1月到6月，要求时间至少为每周16个小时以上，但是如果学生的积极性很高，不具备特定单位的背景知识，或者只是想真正投身于这个项目，那么这个时间可能会更长。 

The time commitment is about 16+ hours a week at minimum, but could be far greater if the student is highly motivated, does not possess the background for a particular unit (or units) or just wants to really throw themselves into the program.

是否有认证？ Is there any accreditation?

在圆满完成“数字制作原理与应用”课程的学习后，由全球分布式评估委员会颁发“Fab Academy”文凭。个别证书也将发给成功完成个人主题的学生。

The Fab Academy Diploma will be issued by a distributed Global Evaluation Committee after satisfactorily completing the course of study in the Principles and Applications of Digital Fabrication. Individual certificates will also be issued for students successfully completing individual topics.

Fab lab会帮我找到一份工作吗？

Will Fab Academy help me find a job?

许多学院毕业生在参加该计划后，改善了他们的职业机会。有才华的数字制造专家和制造商实验室管理人员在就业市场上有很高的需求，而且课程提供的知识可以应用于任何需要快速成型的专业。许多毕业生也会通过开始自己的业务，提供本地生产的设计对象，玩具，培训服务和咨询。

Many Fab Academy graduates improved their career opportunities after taking the program. There's high demand in the job market for talented digital fabrication experts and fab lab managers, but the knowledge offered by the course can be applied to any profession requiring rapid prototyping. Many graduates also started their own businesses offering locally produced design objects, toys, training services and consulting.
