Energy & focus on Artificial Intelligence ( #AI ) would be more valuable to individuals, communities & society if invested in neighborhood #MakerSpaces, and improving human creativity. Less screen-time, more hands-on building, art, innovation...

Last week we did our first workshop on Arduino. More to follow!

#makerspace #makerspaces #fablab #arduino

Thanks so much to Julieta Arancio, PhD from the #OpenResearchCommunityAccelerator (ORCA) for the fascinating @curioss Deep Dive on #OpenHardware.

This led to a great discussion on #MakerSpaces, #licensing for Open Hardware, building engagement and signposting to the communities who need these innovations the most.

Hier haben wir dazu eine Liste aller #makerspaces unserer Bibliotheken im #voebb @voebb

#Lesetipp: Tüftelnd Programmieren lernen? VR-Brillen spielerisch ausprobieren? Videos mit neuesten Schnittprogrammen erstellen? Das alles und noch sehr viel mehr kann man in den #MakerSpaces der #Bibliotheken: Niedrigschwellig und für alle Generationen zugänglich! Am Beispiel der Berliner Bibliotheken hat sich die @tazgetroete mal die MakerSpaces der Hauptstadt angeschaut.

Oooh how lovely! Yes! Always! Thank you :)
I usually bind books and do so regularly for weddings in my friend group, so I can't show a lot of my stuff because there are names on it. But this is the first book I bound a few years back, which I use to showcase what I do during events like the day of open hackerspaces:

(Hacking in non-criminal sense of learning how tech works.)
