This course teaches students to envision, design and prototype projects using diverse materials, machines, and digital fabrication tools. It is a multi-disciplinary and hands-on learning experience that empowers students to translate ideas into tangible prototypes, do-it-yourself, and engage with the maker community in Paris and worldwide. Across 15 sessions, students will learn to sketch product ideas, prototype with cardboard, wood, and metal, as well as air spray painting, computer-aided design, 3D printing, mold injection and casting, and making objects smart with electronics and pre-programmed components. By the end of the course, students will be able to conceptualize, make, document, and share physical prototypes of all kinds in sustainable ways.
