This class is for all skill levels, whether you’re new to engineering, a hobbyist wanting to learn more, or a more experienced engineer looking to accelerate your growth and expand your skills. The projects are designed so that you can practice and learn on the edge of your own personal abilities.

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a month-long learning experience, level up your engineering skills, and finish the class with three personalized builds that you can share with your friends and family, this class is for you.

This class is packed with information and you’ll likely get different things out of it depending on your level of engineering knowledge.

If you are a complete beginner, don’t worry—you won’t need to have any outside knowledge. The class is self-contained and fully comprehensive. Note that although students of all ages can take advantage of this class, students below the middle school level may require some assistance from an adult.

If you have limited knowledge, the class will give you a stronger engineering foundation to build on.

If you’re more advanced, you’ll appreciate the huge range of deeper techniques, tips, tools, and creative strategies.

Once you enroll, you’ll be placed in a peer group of about 20 other engineers from around the world, who will take the class with you. You all will start the class on the same day.

Each day, for 30 days, you’ll come back to the classroom to see ‘Today’s Tasks’, the classwork you should complete to stay on track. Some days the classwork will be watching video lessons. Other days you’ll be working on designing a build, assembling a prototype, or doing other projects.

Throughout the class, you’ll share your ongoing work and give and receive peer feedback.

By the end of the class, you’ll create 3 personalized builds of your own design, applying all the new skills, techniques, and ideas you’ve learned and practiced throughout the class.

The time commitment for the class is around 5-10 hours per week for 4 weeks. This includes time spent on instruction and time spent on engineering projects, feedback sessions, and other class work.

Depending on your schedule, you can budget about 1 hour every day during the month, or you can schedule a few longer sessions each week.

Either way, the class is designed to immerse you in the learning process, while still fitting into almost anyone’s busy schedule.

No, all the video lessons are pre-recorded, allowing you to watch them whenever is best for you.

Inside the classroom, you’ll see a ‘Today’s Tasks’ section, where you’ll see the classwork you should complete to stay on track. Even though other students might complete things at different hours during the day, everyone is completing the same projects and watching the same videos day-by-day. It will still feel like you’re in a classroom and part of a vibrant group of students: You’ll be interacting with peers, getting feedback, and learning with hands-on projects.

You’ll get many of the benefits of learning in-person, but from the comfort of your own home and the flexibility of your own hours.

You’ll need a computer and an Arduino kit for the electrical engineering portions of the class. Once you sign up for class, you can order through Studio and get 20% off the Arduino Starter Kit, which is the kit Mark uses. You can also get 20% off a bundle including the Arduino Starter Kit + Certification Exam. While not required for class, the Arduino Certification Exam is a great way to certify your knowledge of Arduino in the field of programming and electronics.

Beyond that, what you’ll need will depend on how you design your unique builds. In fact, selecting and sourcing tools and materials is an essential engineering skill that you’ll learn in this class. Mark will walk you through how to choose the base materials, fasteners, and mechanical and electrical components that your designs require.

Mark’s approach to tools and materials is very much an engineering approach: use the simplest, most cost-effective toolkit to finish the build quickly and effectively. Once you enroll, we’ll provide you with a full list of materials you may need, with Mark’s favorite gear across the board.

Once you enroll, you’ll be placed in a peer group of about 20 other engineers from around the world, who will take the class with you. You all will start the class on the same day. Throughout the class, you’ll share your ongoing work, give and receive feedback, and ask and answer questions.

Your peer group will help you stay accountable, learn from new perspectives, and make new friends around the world.

You’ll be learning from Mark during the lesson videos, but the feedback during class will be from your peers. We’ve designed the class so that you’ll get thorough feedback from your peers at every step along the way. Your peer group will include engineers and builders of all experience levels who will be there to answer your questions, troubleshoot, and give advice and support throughout the class.

We recommend that you follow the curriculum as it’s laid out to avoid falling behind. If you do submit a project late, we’ll help you get back on track. Nevertheless, submitting your work on time is the best way to build momentum and receive personalized feedback from your peers.

Yes, the class is taught completely online, allowing you to take it from anywhere. Even though it’s online, it will still feel like you’re in a classroom and part of a vibrant group of students: You’ll be interacting with peers, getting feedback, and learning with hands-on projects.

You’ll get all the learning benefits of an intensive engineering program, but from the comfort of your own home.

Yes, once the month is over, you’ll have lifetime access to the video lessons, full curriculum, and community. You’ll be able to use the class as a resource for the rest of your engineering career.

This class is an accelerated process that takes you through an intensive engineering program in 30 days. To make this learning experience as accessible as possible, this one-month class is priced at $249. This is a commitment you are making to yourself, and an investment in your future as a builder.

Yes. If for any reason you want to refund your subscription, you may do so within five days after purchase for a full refund. You may also refund the class within the first five days of the class and receive credit back in your account to take a different class.

The previous session of this class started on Jan 9, 2023. Please join the waitlist to be notified when the next session of the class opens for enrollment.

This class is only offered a few times per year.

No, it doesn’t matter which time zone you are in. You can take this class from anywhere in the world.

The lessons are pre-recorded, so you can watch them around your own schedule. Studio recommends the tasks you should complete each day, but you can decide when you will complete them.

Despite your time zone, you will start the class on the same day as all the other students, and will be working towards the same goals at the same time. We’ve tried to design the class in a way that it will help you stay committed and feel immersed in the process, but also flexible enough that you can fit it into your personal schedule.

We know that life is busy. There’s probably never going to be a perfect time. We also know that we all crave to be more creative and to do interesting things outside of our normal day-to-day routines.

We’ve designed this class to fit into almost anyone’s busy schedule, so you can easily immerse yourself in the creative process in a way you probably never thought possible.

Yes, even if you have a full-time job, or are a full-time student, or have family obligations. If you commit to yourself and to your creativity, we think you’ll be surprised by just how much you can learn and create in a month. If you’re interested and enrollment is still open, we say go for it!

Otherwise, the class runs a few times per year, so there will be future opportunities.
