After hosting the #Fabricademy #bootcamp 2025 at @greenfabric we are already preparing next Fabricademy 6-months course starting in September! This programme mixes #textile, #digitalfabrication and #biology

Running from mid-September till end of March, it is led by international experts in many different fields: #biomaterials, #opensource #hardware, #naturaldye, #softrobotics, #etextile, #digitalbodies, #textilescaffolds… It gathers students all around the world through international nodes (#Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Armenia, Jordan, Rwanda, Mexico, Japan…).

It is not structurally subsidized but Green Fabric, the Belgian node, offers 2 full-scolarships per year (for 3 years) with the support of Feder and Brussels Fablab Network. This scolarship covers the 8000$ subscription fees and you'll have access to our textile #fablab during the programme.
I will be the local instructor in Brussels.

Please spread the word to people you think might be interested to follow this one-of-a-kind course!

#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

Boosts are more than welcome!

Researchers at MIT are breaking new ground in robotics by harnessing the power of live muscle tissue from mouse cells to propel "biohybrid" robots. These innovative robots combine synthetic components with natural actuators, allowing them to move in response to muscle contractions. By integrating muscle fibers onto a flexible skeletal structure, the team has created a breakthrough in soft robotics technology.
