# Home
Welcome!
After participating in [FabAcademy in 2022](../FabAcademy_2022), I decided to apply to
Makeademy 2023, and got selected 🥳
This is a very short summary of how it went, what we built, and the lessons
learned.
If you accidentally landed here after google "Makeademy. Should I go?" I
hope this gives you a quick taste of what you might be doing (in a few weeks),
if you decide to apply :)
