Introduction to design and digital making
Digital making is presented as a revolutionary tool in all aspects, but perhaps one of the most interesting things is its usefulness as a tool in the classroom. On the one hand, because we are talking about acquiring skills that directly make it easier to find employment tomorrow, and on the other, because the approach to these technologies brings implicit - in addition to the technical - a strong social component; it brings to the forefront to approach and demonstrate the virtues of the collaborative versus the aggressive individualism in which we are immersed.
This introductory course in digital making is open as it targets teachers, students and anyone with an interest in entering the world of digital design and manufacturing. The course focuses on two specific areas; Vector 2D design and 3D design or modeling, each aimed at technologies such as laser cutting or 3D printing that turn our designs into tangible objects.
The course is structured set of micro video pills to facilitate the assimilation of the contents as efficiently as possible. The videos are accompanied by the teaching material needed for the realization of practical exercises that implement the tools learned during the course.

Professor in Product Design - University of Navarra and ESNE University School of Design, Innovation and Technology. Director of Los Hacedores (the Doers)
Founder of the school and design studio Los Hacedores, specializing in digital making. He holds a BBAA degree from UCM with extensive training and experience in the field of computing, design and manufacturing. He has specialized in the creation of synthetic imaging as well as the making of physical prototypes through 3D software, digital making and traditional tools working mainly in the development of contemporary art projects, space design and product design. As a teacher, he gives classes at university level in centers such as ESNE, the IED and the University of Navarra, where he is currently a teacher of product design. In addition, he teaches digital making classes to teachers and students of Fp Básica (basic professional training) in different centers in Madrid. He is an expert in Mode (The Foundry) and Fusion 360 (Autodesk), but above all, he is a fan of reality/representation problems and his mission as a teacher is to reduce the distance between imagination and the real world.
