About Fab Academy

The Fab Academy teaches principles and applications of digital fabrication. It was developed to teach hands-on skills in fab labs, which began as an outreach project from MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms, and has grown into a global network of more than 500 labs. Fab Academy instruction is based on MIT's popular rapid-prototyping course How To Make (almost) Anything, both taught by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld. It offers a distributed rather than distance educational model: students learn in local workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines, which are then connected globally by content sharing and video for interactive classes. The individual labs are supported and supervised regionally by supernode sites with more advanced capabilities, expertise, and inventories.

Here is an Edge.org interview, which goes into details about the background and motivation for personal fabrication.
