Making ISP programmer shield for Attiny geeking
We have introduced possible simple workshops using the Attiny85, and thus made some programming shields to be plugged on an arduino and be able to programm the attinies.
One possible nice workshop uses the "record & play" code and schematicsfrom Ralf Schreiber, to make simple mechanical sound installations collaboratively with found objects from the beach. Still looking for a suitable motor around here...

Mboalab, Youndé, Cameroon
Mboalab is an open and collaborative space located in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Operating as a research and applied Center for Open Science and Citizen Science, Mboalab was officially opened in December 2017, with the objective to catalyze sustainable local development and improve people's living conditions through open science. Our main mission is to make biotechnology research and tools more accessible to laboratories in Cameroon and Africa. To achieve this goal, Mboalab is conducting Research & Development programs through its three main departments (1 - Synthetic Biology; 2- Artificial Intelligence and electromechanics; 3 - Scholarly Communication and Library Science); As the pilot node of the UK-based Beneficial Bio network, we pioneered protein production in Cameroon and set up the first biomanufacturing and R&D unit to be founded in the country. We developed locally manufactured molecular biology reagents which are now made available to researchers, health innovators in the public and private sector as well as individuals in Cameroon through our commercial platform Beneficial Bio.

Lifepatch - citizen initiative in art, science and technology
Inisiatif warga di seni, sains dan teknologi: adalah sebuah organisasi lintas-disiplin berbasis komunitas yang terbentuk pada 26 Maret 2012. Berpijak pada inisiatif warga dalam seni, sains, dan teknologi, Lifepatch mengajak para anggota dan siapapun yang terlibat dalam aktivitasnya untuk meneliti, menggali, dan mengembangkan kehadiran teknologi, sumber daya alam, dan sumber daya manusia di daerah sekitarnya. Inisiatif warga dipilih untuk memberi ruang lebih luas bagi keberagaman praktik anggotanya dan memacu kreatifitas masing – masing anggota dalam berperan dalam sebuah aktivitas kolaborasi. Do It Yourself (DIY) dan Do It With Others (DIWO) adalah semangat yang dipegang Lifepatch dalam praktiknya untuk dapat memacu kemunculan suatu pola dan sistem baru yang lugas dari proses kreatif individu dan komunitas, serta interaksi antar individu dalam rangkaian kerja komunitas.
Anggota lifepatch mempunyai misi untuk bermanfaat dalam pengembangan potensi sumber daya manusia dan sumber daya alam lokal, membangun jembatan kolaborasi domestik dan internasional, memberikan akses terbuka bagi siapapun ke sumber penelitian dan hasil pengembangan yang telah dilakukan. lifepatch didirikan pada 26 Maret 2012 oleh beberapa orang dengan berbagai latar belakang disiplin ilmu baik dari pendidikan formal maupun non-formal. Anggota yang tergabung dalam lifepatch berdomisili di berbagai kota seperti Yogyakarta, Pekanbaru dan Bogor. Hal ini merupakan alasan utama lifepatch awalnya bergerak dengan mengandalkan komunikasi melalui internet.

Gudskul Ekosystem & gudrnd, Jakarta
We are setting off from a contemporary art ecosystem developed from a not-for-profit work model. A large part of our operational support comes from our constitutive collective, which in turn were given by donor institution, sponsors and independent funding from our business unit, apart from the funds given from our member out of their own volition. When we decided to work together as an ecosystem, we tried to set a system of co-storehouse where every resource we have is collected and shared in proportion to every collective need. The various resources from every collective comes in many forms: money, program, equipment or even books. We pooled those assets for easier access and sharing for every member of the collective.
