About the program

What is Fabricademy?

Fabricademy is an international, interdisciplinary program focused on sustainability and digital technologies applied to the textile field — from fashion and costume design, to wearable technology, to material science and bio-technology.

The 6-month program runs at Fab Lab Armenia as part of a worldwide network of labs, facilitated by the Fab Foundation, blending global insight with local, hands-on practice.

Participants can choose the full 6-month program, or a customized selection of modules through the à La Carte track.

The program combines online learning sessions with in-person lab training, hands-on workshops and local mentorship at Fab Lab Armenia Nodes.
