Fab Academy 2009 ha comenzado!

Dear Reader!

I am Aysheshim Tilahun from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am here to say about the impression that I have just the moment I got to Barcelona and especially to the purpose related to my education in FabLab Academy. Well, Barcelona is a big and interesting City, especially to any one of my kind who is raised in rural area. but here I would like to say something about FabLab…far from my expectations, smart people leading the lab, inventions taken as day to day assignments, and state of the art machines.
My impression starts in Addis, when Tomas, one of the Fab Members from Barcelona had told us about the machines, the Video Conference and ….
But most of all, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I have seen the machines and our remote instructor Neil Gershenfeld from MIT teaching us about the Fab formation, the Fab forums, the ‘how to proceeds’ and finally giving us assignment about thinking of a self reproducing machine.

As a chance I am feeling more glad as I get to know more about the Lab and people, rather families of the Fab Lab.

Well, I hope finalizing the course and starting the job with the Fab family, I can be one effective person that the world will recognize.
