FabCamp I was held at the Vigyan Ashram FabLab from October 12-16, 2009. The camp was intended to be an introduction to FabLabs and computer-controlled cutting for local school-children. 11 students from Bhairavnath Vidyalaya attended the first edition of the FabCamps. Over the course of 5 days, the students used the sign cutter and the laser cutter to work on a variety of simple projects, ranging from labels, to keychains and custom-made t-shirts.
The schedule followed was:
-
Introduction to the sign-cutter: Number plates and Name plates
-
Introduction to the laser-cutter: Keychain-making
-
Screen printing
-
Introduction to basic electronics: LED-based torches
-
Fun with science: simple experiments
