Contextualize  and  prototype  solu;on

Strategy:  Build  an  architecture  of  incen;ves

Pilot  a  fabrica;onhands-­‐on  workshop  

• Pilot an initial fabrication workshop together with 20 kids and mentors

• Take notes, observe, reflect• Evaluate• Celebrate the first workshop success • Give certificates (DIY) badges to the

participants• Document process and project

Our  Methodology

Iden;fy  problem• Identify who is affected by the

problem• Identify main contributor to the

problem (expert matter)• Define target group & their needs• Check what is locally available

( People, Tools, Space, Electricity)• Make a list of possible benefits for all

parties involved• Think of interactive components to

engage young people (games, examples,success stories etc.)

• Check availability team & skills• Identify potential funding and timing• Define prototype features• List necessary materials• Prepare set up and use of location• Define number of local mentors that

will be trained• Prepare content for workshops• Finalize program and review initial

needs assessment

Strategy:  Focus  on  the  local  ecosystem

Strategy:  Lean  approach  and  community  involvement

Revenue  model:  example  Nigeria  team  

In  2012  we  received  2000$  investment  to  train  50  graduate  students  in  Nigeria  to  run  hands-­‐on  workshops  with  children

The  trained  team  has  organized  10  workshops  with  400  children  in  10  days.

Private  schools  paid  for  the  workshops  Public  schools  received  the  workshops  for  free.  

All  costs  were  covered  with  the  income  generated  by  workshops.  

The  same  investor  is  funding  now  the  hub  in  Nigeria  to  parOcipate  in  Afrimakers

How  are  we  scaling  the  project?We  created  an  applicaOon  called  Makehub  especially  for  documenOng  all  the  Afrimakers  projects

Makers  can  :• document  projects  to  share  and  

remix  later.• collaborate  on  common  projects• create  custom  kits  and  buy  the

Afrimakers  book:  Imagine  the  future

Afrimakers  wants  the  project  to  enable  parOcipants  to  re-­‐imagine  not  only  their  present,  but  also  their  futures.  This  is  why  we  have  proposed  a  sub-­‐project  called  "Imagine  the  Future"  as  a  part  of  the  iniOaOve.  

Par;cipants  will  be  crea;ng  imaginary  objects    objects  from  the  future  A  community  of  sci-­‐fi  writers  have  agreed  to  write  stories  about  these  objects  o:  Alex  McDowell,  Alastair  Reynolds,  Hannu  Rajaniemi,  Ramez  Naam,  David  Levine  and  many  more  others.
