Introduction

The TECFA unit at University of Geneva sponsoring this wiki does have have some making technology and we are teaching it. According to the Fab Lab conformity self-rating we rate it CCCB: (1) Closed or restricted user group; (2) No charter; (3) Difficult to do projects that require other tools than a 3D printer, laser cutter, "standard DYI" tools or electronics. (4) Very little participation in the community, However, we did produce useful tutorials and contribute in that sense (see the fab lab category). We also have contacts with local fablabs.

Our intent was not to create a fab lab as defined by the FabLab community, but we explore teaching of design and micro-fabrication in education. Of particular interest right now is the UK's Digital Design and Technology Programme.

Our master students in educational technology can follow optional design and fabrication 6 ECTS credit semester classes about once per year, as described in STIC III and STIC IV offerings. See CFAO for an overview.
