FabAcademy 2020

I am Shreyas Tiwari, an Indian Grade 11 student in the IB Diploma Programme. For the past 10 years, I have been living -rather, growing up- in Shanghai. I have a great interest in cars and motorbikes, which I plan on further developing through higher education and my career.

I have always had a keen interest in making stuff. Some of my personal favourite projects include an electric skateboard, and Thor's Hammer, which used a strong electromagnet (1500N of force) and a hidden keyfob to activate and deactivate.
Overall, I am greatly excited for this opportunity to participate in the FabAcademy, as I can take on a new project with an abundant range of tools and significant support from instructors.
