The Participants will be given optional (but highly recommended) weekly assignments to practice their skills.
 
The Digital Fabrication Project will be a “Parametric Vase” that the participants will design. Participants will choose 1 out of 5 types of parametric families (1- Breathe, 2- Twist, 3- Cellular, 4- Flat, 5- Waffle), then they will develop their design into a complete Grasshopper Definition and fabricate it using FabLab’s amenities (3D Printing, Laser Cutting or CNC Milling).
 
Examples of Parametric Vase Family Types:
 
Type 1: Breathe
