Fab Academy Process

Week 1 - Sketch&Plan the Final Project

In 2013 I started working on a prototype for a personal PhD project called GROUU.
GROUU is meant to be an Open Agriculture Medium. Now I want to make it evolve, make it more modular and design more components.

Week 1 - Website & Git Configuration

A git tutorial where macOs + GitLab are the Options .... coming soon

Week 2 - Design, Design and Digital Design

I like the balance bettwen the freedom of skecthing by drawing and the accurate yet versatile use of nice and light 3D Tech like Autodesk Fusion, which I'm discovering right now.
