FabLab
Ensimag students can carry out innovative projects. The objective of these projects is to create "objects" (embedding computers) meeting specific needs. There is no imposed scope for these objects: they can range from equipment for doctors working in the field (eg "doctors without borders"), to "intelligent" equipment for cyclists, Objects for home automation (eg objects making a building "intelligent"). These projects combine computer and "hardware" development.
