A hands-on MIT course taught by Neil Gershenfeld on digital fabrication, covering how to design and build physical objects and electronics using tools like laser cutters, CNC mills, and 3D printers. It is an MIT OpenCourseWare offering.

The commenter calls it one of the best courses at MIT and says they regret never taking it, though they only mention it in passing alongside Gershenfeld's other course.

    Neil Gershenfeld is responsible for two of the best courses at MIT: "How to Make (almost) Anything" and "The Nature of Mathematical Modeling". Neither are compatible with healthy sleep habits, but both are transformative. I took NMM and, to this day, one my biggest regrets is never taking "How to Make (almost) Anything."
