 I started the course at [FabLab Barcelona](https://fablabbcn.org/) in 2020, and am continuing it at [FabLab Singapore](https://www.fablabs.io/labs/fablabsp) in 2021. I worked remotely from Mumbai, India without a Lab in 2020, and finished the remaining parts from Dubai at [FabLab UAE](http://fablabuae.ae/). The Fab Network has been very helpful during border restrictions of the pandemic.

 11. Initial Final Project Ideas
 ---
+### Idea 1: Light source
+
+For my final project, I want to make a versatile lamp.
+A light source that can keep resultant light on a surface constant irrespective of external daylight.
+
+Also, to add some mechanics and automation, make the form versatile to change it from being indirect light, ambient and a task light whenever required.  
+* CAD - make 2D for cutting/production  files & make a 3D model, animate and render  
+* Inputs - light sensors to measure light color (add light intensity later)  
+* Output - Multicolor LED to change output to match resultant light  
+* CAM - lasercut parts, use vinyl cutter for origami folds  
+* 3D printing - joints, make casing for PCB  
+* Electronic design, production and embedded programming - To make the micro-contoller PCB  
+* Network and Communication - Add WiFi module to control it remotely  
+* Interface and Application programming - To make a GUI (phone app?)  
+
