We offer a Digital Fabrication minor that started as an academic overlay for the global Fab Academy course. The minor focuses on skills needed to use a fablab to its full potential. The academic overlay allows Aalto University students (exchange students included) to receive ECTS credits for joining the Fab Academy.
Digital Fabrication courses themselves are a lighter version of the Fab Academy. While the course schedules are aligned with the Fab Academy, the requirements are tuned to match the local university setting. Students of the Digital Fabrication courses have the option to join the global Fab Academy class if they wish so.
Fab Academy is a fast-paced, hands-on learning experience where students learn rapid prototyping by planning and executing a new project each week, resulting in a personal portfolio of technical accomplishments (from the Fab Academy website).
