Called a “Technology Changemaker” by TEDx, Vijay Varada is an obsessive tinkerer, award-winning inventor, storyteller, and entrepreneur who works at the intersection of art, design, and technology.
He is a Mechatronics engineer and the founder of Fracktal Works, scaling it from his dorm room in college to a national brand in 3D Printing.
He is an author, a two-time Hackaday Prize winner, TEDx Speaker, 25under25 2016 Alumnus, and also set up the world’s first 3D printed wind turbine in Antarctica on an expedition with Climate Force 2041.
Learn the end-to-end process of an innovative engineer, from brainstorming ideas and defining requirements to prototyping, testing, and constructing a build.
Breaking a complex problem into individual parts, conduct experiments, research and analysis on various design options to determine the best build path.
Get your mechanical fundamentals really strong and be able to build amazing contraptions that move and work as your design intends. Understand the working of simple machines to motors & pneumatics.
Turn ideas into real objects and devices using simple materials and assembly techniques. Learn the construction processes and tips for working with wood, metal, and plastic, so that you can build anything you can imagine.
Learn how to use Computer-Aided Design software for visualizing, planning, designing, and ordering parts.
Bring your CAD designs to reality using 3D Printing. Learn how to practically use this technology for creating parts for your projects.
Understand the physics behind electrical systems, from sensors used to process inputs to effectors that make things happen.
Give your circuits intelligence using microcontrollers & programming with the Arduino ecosystem.
Make your electronics talk over the internet to remotely send sensor data or receive commands to actuate effectors using M2M protocols like MQTT.
Take what you would have already learnt with electronics and programming to the next level, and perform highly complex tasks with ease using the Raspberry Pi.
Document and manage your projects like a world-class engineer using Git and Github and leave your digital fingerprint online for the world to recognize your potential.
Learn how to package your projects and builds with presentation & storytelling and get others to care and support the things you build.
Earn recognition for your expertise in hardware development with our online certification program. By completing our comprehensive course, you’ll demonstrate your ability to effectively problem solve, design and build projects. This certification program is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to deliver high-quality projects.
Get certified from industry leaders in 3D printing.
Before class starts, there are few things you’ll need to do to be ready to go on Day 1. We explain how to get set up, what to expect, and how to get the most out of the class.
