Full Contact Engineering (FCE) is a maker initiative built around one idea: engineering should be something you experience, not just observe.

The name comes from the process itself, deeply hands-on projects that range from NeoPixel art installations to 15lb combat robots. FCE has brought that energy to Open Sauce and Maker Faire Bay Area in 2024 and 2025, earning an Editor's Choice Award and connecting thousands of people with accessible, exciting STEM.

But FCE is growing beyond the booth. The website has become a destination for genuinely great open-source hardware, including the Sesame robot build kit, pre-assembled V3 PCBs, and a pipeline of new projects in the works. Whether you discover us at an event or online, the goal is the same: give makers everywhere the tools to build something amazing.
