Marketing Venues

edit

Checkin

Updates

  • David Lee: Fab Lab Village, Autonomous Tracktor
  • Alex S: (People build themselves and then...) Business model for Africa is Financing.
  • Combo: develop engineering + supply chain in China, and then deliver in Africa in Feb for $200k
  • Cindy the Librarian: propose a 2 day curriculum and then go for it. $1400 2-day package. They are receptive and overburdened. They may take on a platter, or a design-jam on the 3rd day. Simple project: fully 3d printed broom, or toilet wipe. 3d printed vice. Meeting library needs to switch to emerging technology, digital making, and design. A very encouraging convo. Present it on a platter, and then you start scoring. Start with the curriculum.
  • Librarians may not have continuing education curriculum. But they have a materials budget. You could say they could buy a kit.
  • $1000 for all the costs? for the kit? (Kit has embodied costs.) (Diff libraries have diff budgets. )
  • Cindy's angle: 6 entrepeneurs in the inner city? Connecting to a computer repair group?
  • "open source copy machine for common goods" -- this is the open source fab lab
  • Look at: https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/L%E2%80%99Atelier_Paysan for building together w/ 100s
