HS2025: 03117 Fabrication and Prototyping in the LearningLab

In this course, students begin by exploring fabrication and prototyping technologies commonly used in the design of digital systems, including microcontroller platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), digital fabrication tools (3D printing, laser cutting), as well as software that facilitate the integration and prototyping of robotic and interactive systems (ROS, Node-RED). This phase, based on theoretical courses and practical exercises, aims to provide students with a common technical base. Building on this initial experience, the students then work in pairs to apply the skills they have acquired to conceptualize a project and produce a functional demonstrator. The prototypes developed are based on a defined theme, which varies from year to year. Students must demonstrate that they have integrated the various theoretical elements and that their prototype is relevant to the theme.
