Course Structure
This section is going to give you an overview on what happens when and how.
Read this in case you are not taking all courses from the Digital Fabrication course series. It is important that you take
the Digital Fabrication I course that cover the Principles and
Practices, and Project Management assignments. During the two weeks you
are supposed to build a documentation website and learn to version
control it with Git and GitLab.
You have to gain a basic understanding of the GitLab CI (Continuous
Integration) pipelines to use GitLab to automatically publish your
repository as a website.
The following structure is used for every weekly assignment.
- Wednesday afternoon: Global lecture with Neil Gershenfeld
- Thursday afternoon: Local lecture at the Aalto Fablab
- The rest of the week: Individual work and ad-hoc instruction
GitLab Issues will be used during the course as the main tool for
announcing and evaluating weekly assignments. Each assignment will
contain a list of learning outcomes and a checklist of tasks that have
to be completed in order to pass.
