Weekend Fabrication is a lean-startup-based course that teaches students in Okinawa, Japan, about how to make web/mobile applications and English, where students need to
- implement something he/she wants, 2) show it to others, and 3) decide what to create/update/delete in the next week.
All students taking this course repeats this process every week. At the end of the term, they will give presentations of their final product(s) in English to the media in Okinawa.
The number of active users is important, so if one of your product gets them, it's perfect. But the most impotant thing of this course is to acquire the mind set of individual thinking through tons of fabrications.
This course is now integrated with Lexues Academy.
The number of actual users of your product is important, yet the most impotant thing in this academy is to acquire the mind set of individual thinking, through tons of fabrications.
