About

Hi my name is Bergþóra Ólöf Björgvinsdóttir and I am 19 years old. I live on an island called Heimaey in the archipelago Vestmannaeyjar in Iceland and I´ve lived there my whole life.

I graduated from upper secondary school (framhaldsskóli) in December 2017 but didn't quite know what I wanted to learn in university so I thought Fab Academy would be great preparation for further studies. I am interested in becoming an architect and I think Fab Academy will help me with that or whatever I choose to do.

I have taken a few classes in Fab Lab throughout my education and I am excited to continue learning in Fab Lab. I think Fab Academy will give me new perspective on things and also help me to become more open minded to new ideas. When I finish Fab Academy I'm hoping I will have gotten to know a lot of new people from all over the world and that I will be able to make (almost) anything.
