To prep students for their time at Haystack and getting the most out of the Fab Lab, we will be offering a series of online workshops to teach basic skills that will help you navigate and use the Fab Lab.

Online Education Platforms

Intro to the Fab Lab

Design for the Laser Cutter: Adobe Illustrator

Design for the Laser Cutter: Inkscape

Design for the 3D Printer: TinkerCAD

Design for the 3D Printer: Fusion 360

<aside> đŸ’¡ Some feedback was that the AI workshop was not advanced enough. It was far too short to get people up to speed with designing for the laser cutter. A follow up workshop should be scheduled, and soon!

Fall 2023 — schedule mini semester-style workshops for people to enroll into. This would be a 6-week course with resources, 1-on-1 mentoring, etc. Begin an online digital fabrication academy. $500 for the workshop series. 10 people = $5,000
