We have been invited last week by Pop-Machina to moderate and to give a guest talk for their distributed hybrid event. This event celebrated the completion of the Circular Maker Accelerator program, promoting circular entrepreneurship through makerspaces, with success stories and lessons learned for scaling up.
Pop-Machina is a Horizon 2020 project that seeks to highlight and reinforce the links between the maker movement and circular economy in order to promote environmental sustainability and generate socio-economic benefits in European cities.
It was fun and engaging for us to facilitate this event with all these new connected initiatives going together in the same direction, sharing their values and resources to implement a new economic model. We felt satisfied and optimistic about the next stories to come.
We had the chance to share our story, our vision, our mission and our projects with the new students of the master and other local guests of the Bali Fab Fest.
You can find the recording of the whole session here, we are talking at 22’36”. Or read the blogpost.
Ciao Milano! We are very pleased to have been invited by PoliFactory, the Fablab within the Bovisa campus of Politecnico di Milano, to give a talk about distributed design for plant-based food for an event they organised called Open Food Factory. This event was held to inspire young designers and makers to participate in a challenge they had just launched. It was a great experience for us to be part of the selection of speakers, as we all had a different approach but one goal. We felt inspired and understood. The event ended with an aperitivo where we had the chance to exchange with the audience.
Many thanks to Andrea Ascani for inviting us and showing us the facilities and recent projects of their FabLab, and to the Distributed Design platform for facilitating our journey.
Here’s a souvenir of our stand. The Maker Faire is the event for makers, where we present our projects and share them with each other. We look forward to seeing more projects related to ecology, better ressource management and nutrition in this kind of event. Let’s create the change we want to see.
We had the chance to speak on this topic twice as a guest in a series of talks organised by Fab Lab Barcelona. Here are the recordings:
We presented our collaboration about the design and fabrication process of our tempeh moulds. She first tested our moulds and give us feedback, we then co-designed the next version and finally, we supported her to 3D print the new version in a local makerspace Waag (thank you!) in order to test the distributed design and decentralised fabrication side of the project. The new version of the 3D printed tempeh mould is then available on our website. Please use, modify and share!
We had the chance to present our open-source incubator that promotes fermented food and collaboration with natural processes at fab16montreal, the international Fab Labs conference!
This morning we had the chance to present our open-source incubator at the Fab16, the worldwide event of the Fablab network! We gave a talk, or theory workshop as they call it, for the first time and we really enjoyed doing it.
We covered topics such as
fermentation as a process of partnering with microorganisms
plant-based proteins as an effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
how to make tempeh
why we make open source tools
how to leverage the principles of distributed design and decentralised manufacturing
FAB16
FAB16 brings together members of the international Fab Lab network, as well as government officials, academic researchers, and experts in the field of digital fabrication, to present, envision, discuss, and build community around digital fabrication, technology, and innovation. This year, FAB16 and Fab City Summit will all be hosted online, with FAB16 Hubs creating events for their communities to join the online programming and local programming of their own.
