Foreword#
Hello! This is an example student blog for the 2024-2025 ULB class “How To Make (almost) Any Experiments Using Digital Fabrication”.
About me#
Hello, my name is Antoine, I’m 21 years old and a BA3 student in bioengineering at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. I’m a native Bruxellois and proud of it. I have two half-sisters a little older than me and am a happy uncle to a niece and a nephew.
I’m a fairly athletic young adult, playing field hockey at least 4 times a week. Sport in general helps me to burn off energy and think about other things when student life takes over too much.
I started my school career with elementary school in Dutch and then secondary school in immersion at Collège Saint-Pierre. After that, I decided to take a sabbatical year abroad, notably in South Africa and Spain.
My other hobbies include traveling and discovering other cultures, partying at weekends and water sports.
Why did I chose the class “How to make (almost) Any Experiments Using Digital Fabrication”?#
The “How to make…” elective caught my eye in the sense that the skills you acquire seem indispensable to a complete bioengineer. It seemed important to me to add this string to my bow. What’s more, the course is practical, which I prefer to the theory that makes up over 80% of our bachelor’s courses. I’m completely new in the domain, so you’ll see that I stuggled quite often but I’m willing to learn more!
What’s next?#
Below you’ll find the rest of my documentation and the learning stages I went through. Hope this helps you for whatever reason.
