Creative Engineering 30-Day Class with Mark Rober

Become a creative engineer in 30 days. During this one-month class, learn to use engineering and science to bring your creative ideas to life. Finish the class with 3 original engineering builds of your own.

Former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober teaches you everything he knows in this one-month class. Immerse yourself in the process and leave the class with 3 personalized engineering builds and a new set of lifelong creative engineering skills.

Build #1 – Mechanical Engineering

For Build #1, Mark shares his end-to-end engineering process. You’ll learn about pneumatic systems, motors, springs, and more mechanical engineering topics to design, build, and optimize your first build: a machine that solves a food-related problem.

Build #2 – Electrical Engineering

For Build #2, Mark teaches you electrical engineering techniques for your second build: a device that displays or creates art. You’ll dive into circuits, Arduino, sensors, code, and more. You’ll finish with another personalized, unique, and shareable build.

Build #3 – Advanced Techniques

For Build #3, you’ll use both mechanical and electrical engineering to create a device that helps you form a good habit or break a bad one. You’ll also learn about some of Mark’s favorite advanced techniques, including CAD and 3D printing.
