About me

Hi, I’m Jeff! 😄

I was born in a warm city called León, in Nicaragua

I’m currently in Germany, where I arrived in October 2019 for an academic exchange at the Hochschule Rhein Waal Kamp-Lintfort

Jefferson Sandoval Fab Academy

During my stay here I discovered the FabLab world and fell in love with it. I took the Fundamentals of digital fabrication course 2020, which I define as a “mini-FabAcademy course”. Eventually, for my fortune, I got a scholarship for the Fab Academy 2021

Why FabAcademy?

I enjoy the process of bringing an idea to reality, supported by the method of learning by doing, which I consider is the best way to get new and practical knowledge

Taking in consideration my studies in Mechatronics and sticking to my point of view of the FabLabs and the FabAcademy, I think that improving my digital fabrication skills will be an excellent complement, plus the fact that this is a very practical and international educational program
