Latest revision as of 20:13, 6 December 2011

Boot Camp December 2011 will be held 5th of December until 10th of December 2011.

One week crash course in fab lab tools and processes by the gurus of the fab lab network. For new fab lab managers, teachers, and people who want a fast training course.

The Boot Camp is a short duration workshop on Fab Lab management, processes and project development. The goal of Boot Camps is to offer short term training for future Lab Managers, fabricators and creators around the world. The Boot Camp is developed by the Fab Labs in the worldwide network, provided with equipment and tutors dedicated (almost) 24/7 for an intense workshop on Digital Fabrication.


Participating labs:

  • Chicago Fab Lab
  • Barcelona Fab Lab in Barcelona, Spain (contact Tomas Diez / tomasdiez [at] iaac [dot] net)
