Course Description
Make: Beyond DIY will expose students to techniques, tools, and resources for expanding what we can make and share ourselves. In-class workshops, field trips and guest instructors will inform individual and group assignments on hacking how-to projects and producing outstanding online documentation including tutorials in text, pictures, and video. We’ll combine traditional and novel techniques and materials in electronics, computation, crafts, fabrication, and other do-it-yourself genres to make tools, toys, art, hacks, and upgrades, to name just a few. We’ll release our projects as fully and openly as possible and investigate the cultural implications of participating in the global DIY community. Through instructor Becky Stern, Associate Editor at Make: Online and CRAFT, students will have opportunities for online exposure and access to a stellar network of innovators, hackers, hobbyists, and crafters producing DIY projects
