Produce a fabrication-ready final project

Overview

A complete, browser-based introduction to computational design using Beegraphy. No software installs, no license fees. Open a browser and design.

This 16-week program takes you from the computational design mindset to a fabrication-ready final project through visual, node-based parametric modelling. Each chapter pairs video tutorials with a guided exercise and a homework project, graded against a clear four-part rubric.

Great intro to computational design. Would love even more fabrication detail.

Clear, hands-on, and genuinely fun. The chapter projects made the concepts stick.
