Anna is a Masters student in MIT's Technology Policy Program and a research assistant at the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, where she's investigating the viability of local manufacturing and inclusive strategies for industrialization. Pictured here are two of her fab friends from the global fab lab network.

In which brainstorming is performed and things eventually mostly work

In which CAD is attempted before reverting to pencil and paper

In which vectorizing and parametrizing lessons are learned

In which FabTinyISPs are milled while everything works surprisingly well

In which a scanned pear turns out peachy and nested spheres turn out pear-shaped

In which Eagle makes little sense, but long-lost connections are eventually found

In which something big is constructed as further parametrizing lessons are learned

In which programming environments are tested and the easy way out is taken

In which the pear returns and chocolate is molded

In which currents run high but no one gets electrocuted

In which endmills snap yet teamwork prevails

In which temperatures are more-or-less sensed

In which graphics are created through a plethora of programming libraries

In which many I2C is attempted and many failure modes are experienced

In which dodgy measurements and haphazard cardboard constructions yield astounding results
