The Fab Academy provides instruction and supervises investigation of mechanisms, applications, and implications of digital fabrication. The academy is a new distributed education platform built on the infrastructure of the international Fab Lab network and taught by MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld and a global roster of visiting faculty and local instructors.
