Fab Boot Camp 2009
Draft Schedule
| Note 1: | Every 8 hour day with instruction has a 3 hour open lab time slot planned with instructor assistance to help you complete the assignment/project for the day. |
| Note 2: | The following sources are significantly subsidizing this series of workshops: the Norwegian government, the Lyngen Commune, MIT-FabLab Norway, and MIT CBA. Without their kind assistance, this workshop would not be possible. |
| Note 3: | We are using you to test our first course module in laser fabrication, therefore we will intersperse formal classes on laser fab with learning about the other tools and processes in less formal modes. |
