Enlightening personal experiences through AGYA are a great treasure that I will keep as an alumnus.

Joint research projects with my fellow AGYA members have taken me to FabLabs and Maker Spaces throughout the world, with a particular focus on Europe and Arab countries. I strive to spread the idea of FabLabs because I am convinced that they are crucial nuclei of innovation in today’s world of increasingly distributed production and value co-creation, and I believe they will only become more relevant in the future. FabLabs also help provide education and develop technical literacy where it is needed most – everywhere! Within AGYA, I have also appreciated the chance to get involved in other interdisciplinary projects initiated by AGYA members and working groups. Through these experiences, I have learned a lot regarding different disciplinary approaches, as well as regional and cultural differences.
