We need at least one Tom in every country. I noticed in his students' documentation that they go through a short Pre Fab course before starting the Fab Academy. So I thought it couldn't hurt to try it here, too.
## Free software
Free and open source software is a part of the Fab Lab culture.
I used to be [really predjudiced](https://fabacademy.org/2023/labs/isafjordur/students/svavar-konradsson/assignments/week02.html#on-free-and-open-source-engineering-software) against free and open source engineering software, but I changed my mind during the Fab Academy. Now I teach my secondary students CAD using Ondsel ES with the Laser Cut Interlocking workbench:

The LCInterlocking workbench is great, but it lacks parametric input and a few other things. Since it's not being actively maintained, I'm considering adopting it and learning enough Python to make the necessary changes (when I have the time!).*
When I fully leaned into Ondsel/FreeCAD, I realized that I no longer need Windows. So I've been daily driving Linux Mint since March of 2024 and Þórarinn has joined me this fall. It's lovely.

<p><img :=":" alt="2024 Fab Academy Instructor Bootcamp in León" src="images/leon_2024.jpg" style="width:100%" /><em>The 2024 Fab Academy Instructor Bootcamp in León, Spain. My contributions: <a href="https://academany.fabcloud.io/fabacademy/2024/bootcamp-instructors/workshops/BLDC-Modular-Thing/">BLDC Modular Thing</a> and <a href="https://academany.fabcloud.io/fabacademy/2024/bootcamp-instructors/workshops/Chat-with-your-repo/">Chat with your repo</a>.

<p>I've set up <a href="https://www.fabisa.is/N%C3%A1msefni/Pre-Fab/0-yfirlit/">Iceland's first Pre Fab course</a>. I think it's essential that prospective Fab Academy students try a few things before starting the course itself, so that they know what they're getting into! Before I started the Fab Academy, <a href="https://fabacademy.org/archives/2015/eu/students/gunnarsson.thorarinn_b.b/about.html">Þórarinn</a> taught me to mill on the ShopBot, <a href="http://archive.fabacademy.org/fabacademy2016/fablabreykjavik/students/272/index.html">Hafliði</a> walked me through making a simple capacitive sensor and <a href="https://fabacademy.org/2022/labs/isafjordur/students/arni-bjornsson/about/">Árni</a> helped me set up a website. It was unplanned and informal, but it helped me a lot. </p>
<p>I've also been scratching my head over how <a href="http://archive.fabacademy.org/2016/charlottelatin/students/999/about.html">Tom Dubick</a> takes a cohort of high school students through the Fab Academy every year.
