Maker Diploma

Maker Diploma is a hands-on training program that helps people turn ideas into working prototypes. Designed for beginners aged 20 and above, the 11-week program welcomes hobbyists, students, professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs, with no prerequisites. It is especially relevant to people interested in education, science communication, architecture, applied arts, engineering, or industrial design.

The program takes a broad, horizontal learning approach, introducing core skills across several disciplines rather than focusing deeply on a single subject. Participants learn computer-aided design and simulation with Fusion 360, laser cutting, 3D printing, electronics, ESP32 microcontrollers, programming, and project documentation. Training is offered in Arabic and English.

By the end of the program, graduates can conceptualize, model, and build a medium-fidelity prototype for a personal need or local challenge. They gain practical experience designing physical objects, fabricating parts from wood and plastic, creating electronic circuits that respond to users or sensors, and integrating components into a smart device.
