Project of the Day: Xinchejian Hackerspace Shanghai

Project of the Day: Xinchejian Hackerspace Shanghai | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“Xinchejian, founded in 2010, means “new workshop.” It occupies a rented room in a Shanghai warehouse. Members pay around $16 a month to use the space and tools, and on Wednesday nights it is open to the public. The Taiwan-born David Li, a 40-year-old programmer and a co-founder of Xinchejian, wants to lower the barriers for experimentation and play. “It’s not about getting together a group of geeks doing something. It’s a conduit for people to say, ‘This interactive stuff is not that scary, not that difficult.’”

Project of the Day: Sustaining Time

Project of the Day: Sustaining Time | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“This project tackles not one, but two amazingly complex issues – time and economies – and so as part of setting up the project I’ve had meetings with each of the advisers and project partners to get a better idea of the kinds of issues they think it would be important for the project to address. It’s been fascinating talking to everybody, one-on-one, and to start unpacking how we might go about researching the question of time and sustainable economies.

Project of the Day: Open Lab Tools

Project of the Day: Open Lab Tools | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“The OpenLabTools initiative aims to provide a forum and knowledge centre for the development of low cost and open access scientific tools, with an emphasis on undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. The programme will officially start in October 2013. In order to bootstrap this initiative, a number of MENG projects (4-5 per year) will be offered to establish the core components required for such tools; these include data acquisition, sensing, actuating, processing and 3D manufacturing. Protocols, designs and tutorials will be published on this website. These components will be subsequently combined to establish a documented collection of instruments, to be developed and maintained by a community of undergraduate and graduate students of the University.

Project of the Day: Open Source Ink

Project of the Day: Open Source Ink | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“The overall excitement with regards to the work done by the group led by Thomas Landrain (president) shall grow even more when you think about an incredible project that is slowly taking off and that, hopefully, will hit public visibility soon: the realization of an open source ink, produced by bacteria. Yes, you’ve heard well: the guys from La Paillasse engineered a process to synthesize a blue ink that could be used in inkjet printers and that is completely biodegradable and environment friendly.
