• Practiced here
Master mechanical principles and system design while following innovations in appropriate automation, human-machine collaboration, and community-scale manufacturing. We track developments in open-source machinery, workshop automation tools, and mechanical systems that enhance rather than replace human craft knowledge and community self-reliance.
Understand core mechanical principles including forces, motion, leverage, and energy transfer that form the foundation for designing functional mechanical systems.
Learn to select, control, and integrate motors, actuators, and sensors to create automated mechanical systems with programmable behaviors.
Design and build mechanical automata, kinetic sculptures, and moving artworks that combine engineering precision with artistic expression.
Design and fabricate custom jigs, fixtures, and specialized tools to solve specific workshop challenges and improve making capabilities.
