WEB II - Advanced design course

Terminology and aims of the course:

Daily a web developer uses a variety of tools for doing his job, for collaborating with other developers, to get feedback, and suggest improvements.
Some of these tools are specialized code editors such as the Visual studio editor, the node.js that lets developers use JavaScript to produce dynamic web page content, Git, Github as Version Control Systems for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people, WordPress etc.


The first aim of this course is to learn, understand and apply the above tools during the whole duration of the course.

3D printing with circuits and Arduino

This course introduces the makery movement through beginner modules in 3D printing, circuits and Arduino programming.

Simple tips, tricks, tools and puzzles for aspiring makers aged 18-24.

3D Printing

3D Printing  is designed for students of ages 18+. The purpose of the course is to learn basic concepts of  designing and printing of 3D models. Students will acquire knowledges including a) the parts and the way that 3d printers function, b) the materials used in 3d printing, c) the areas of human activities in which 3d printing is used, d) use of 3d applications and their tools, to design models for 3d printing including tinkercad and blender.  Students will also acquire skills like a) operate a 3d printer b) set the proper properties to the printing software, in order to have a reliable print out, c) to prepare their 3d models for 3d printing d) to recognise and to use productively the basic tools of a 3d design application.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to processes used to create a three-dimensional object[1] in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create an object, with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together). Objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and typically are produced using digital model data from a 3D model or another electronic data source such as an Additive Manufacturing File (AMF) file (usually in sequential layers). Stereolithography (STL) is one of the most common file types that is used for 3D Printing. Thus, unlike material removed from a stock in the conventional machining process, 3D printing or AM builds a three-dimensional object from computer-aided design (CAD) model or AMF file, usually by successively adding material layer by layer.[2]

The term "3D printing" originally referred to a process that deposits a binder material onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads layer by layer. More recently, the term is being used in popular vernacular to encompass a wider variety of additive manufacturing techniques. United States and global technical standards use the official term additive manufacturing for this broader sense.
