Wheaton is offering a new course this semester called FabAcademy and will be holding an info session for students who would like to learn more.

“At the Fab Academy, you will learn how to envision, prototype and document your ideas through many hours of hands-on experience with digital fabrication tools.” Under the leadership of global instructor Neil Gershenfeld, Wheaton students will be exposed to innovative communities and ideas at a global level over the course of six months. Gershenfeld, MIT Professor and Director of the Center for Bits + Atoms, originally taught “How to Make Almost Anything” as an MIT course which grew into FabAcademy in 2009. Students who successfully complete FabAcademy will graduate with an extensive digital portfolio detailing their progress and final project. They will also gain the knowledge needed to take an idea from prototype to product. Wheaton will be the first college in New England to offer FabAcademy to its students.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with all that Wheaton has to offer, from academic opportunities like honors and scholars programs and student-faculty research, to career connections through the Wheaton Edge funding and internship support, to student activities and leadership opportunities. Come and build your plan for your own success and be a part of the Wheaton community.
Sessions for first-year students include time management, funding 101, and navigating the Compass curriculum. Sessions available for all include Career Services’ signature Wheaton to the World programs including alumni panels, financial planning, and internship and job search strategies. Community-building and anti-racist engagement will be featured in the final hour session hosted by Diversity, Equity and Access Leadership (DEAL) , focused on policing in America and the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement.
