AOP "All Makers": An Innovative Pedagogical Approach at the Coh@bit FabLab for Hands-on Training in Design and Prototyping

The Coh@bit FabLab, located at the University Institute of Technology in Bordeaux, is an innovative digital fabrication space that supports experiential learning through collaborative projects. By incorporating advanced resources such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and computer-aided design (CAD) software, the FabLab provides an active learning environment for its users, ranging from students to community participants. This paper introduces the "AOP All Makers" teaching modules, designed to foster both technical and transferable skills in design and rapid prototyping. The teaching approach, including the use of digital documentation tools and the outcomes of project evaluations, are analyzed to highlight the benefits and challenges of the program for both in-person and remote learners.
