The course will be held in the spring semester, during period IV.

In this course the students will learn the whole process of digital fabrication in FabLab. They will learn how to create an interactive 3D prototype, design mechanical parts for prototype, create basic electronics, implement a control logic for open hardware embedded board, and work in teams on project.

The course teaches students to (1) design mechanical components with solid modeling tools, (2) build necessary electronics, and (3) implement software to a microcontroller, to create in FabLab a physical gadget that interacts with the world around it.

Face-to-face teaching (Lectures)/ Individual work towards project

Lectures 30h / Individual work 123h. There are sessions each week in FabLab where guidance is available (min total 16 h).

This course is included in the computer science bachelor degree program. It is also available for all degree programs in the university. The course is offered to high-school students.
