Cities: Towards a Liquid Distribution

The biggest socio-cultural transformations determined local and global urban structures in the past 200 years. The emergence of new technological media and citizen empowerment enable the possibility of moving from the right of access to the city to the right of making cities. In this panel will present different visions and strategies for the construction of a new model of a city.

Education: How do we envision the future of education

It is an admitted fact that education is experiencing challenging moments in all conventional teaching models and how they are being inserted within a concrete way to all sort of new rules that society and culture are generating by. The introduction of cross-cutting variables in educational models, the freedom and self-management of education brought about by the communications revolution, highly flexible educational curriculums and the promotion of 21st century skills are just some of the parameters on table of contemporary education. The debate in this panel proposes to explore where the educational models should be directed and how they should relate to the environment. STEAM, Fablabs, DYD, Hacking, are increasingly recurrent concepts in the educational scene, so what is the future of education?

Distributed Design

To Design is a strategic tool to create socio-cultural value, organizing matter and communicating their effects through a specific function that transform our build environment. To design is always a political act. Nowadays, the design has potentially more chances to be close to generated positives transformation within our society by several novel digital fabrication technologies and Internet holistic capabilities to generate more possibilities of social cohesion, expanding the inherent objects capacities to instances that construct systems from themselves. The main idea of this discussion is to provide several points of view in order to interpret how to design is moving from objects to systems

FabAcademy Instructors meeting

All Instructors of FabAcademy are invited to work on the updates, exchanged knowledge, share agendas and new techniques, propose improvements and work collaboratively for the rapidly expanding FabAcademy.

Cardboard CNC Machines MTM (2days)

At Fab Lab Tecsup we have been working, since last year in the development of machine structures using cardboard. Cardboard is light weight and resistant depending on how do you design the structure. For this workshop, we are going to make a hands-on activity with the participants to developed a Tube Cutter Machine and 4 axis CNC machine.

Super Fab Lab Open : Fashion and Assistive Technology Challenge

Fab13ers! We are celebrating Fab13 with a Challenge on Fashion and Assistive Technology to recognize the ways society embraces digital fabrication in the most intimate way. Technology gets closer, it becomes an extension of our body to assist and augment our abilities, to gather and process our data. How can society adapt and benefit from the democratic access to knowledge and skills found in Fab Labs, to improve the life of people? How does the industry of fashion transform with digital distributed production and communities? We call on the participants of Fab13 to demonstrate the power of creation through visionary prototypes and innovative concepts. During the conference days makers, inventors, thinkers, and innovators will have access to the Super Fab Lab in order to develop their projects, ideas and technologies to prescribe the impact of wearables, digital fashion, and assistive technology, through digital fabrication and global collaborations. All projects will be presented on Saturday at the main stage of Fab13Festival and we are preparing great prices for the winning teams.

Foundations and Regional Networks

A space where all the regional initiatives will have the chance to expose, discuss and get to common solutions that would benefit not only their regional Fab Networks but the entire network. A way to explore the advantages and new task that regional coordinators have to face in this world of the collaborative atmosphere.

Minecraft hacking

Learn electronics and Minecraft with raspberry pi and Minecraft.

How to implement a community-based IoT system through digital fabrication and participative cartography

The workshop will focus on two 4-hour sessions, aided by the methodologies and hardware from Reacción that we will provide. The first session will focus on elaborating a digital model of a section of Santiago and analyzing its risks. The second session will plan on designing how a community will react to natural disasters and use simple GPS-mapping to simulate a natural disaster and analyze the results of the the made on the first session. We will look into moving into a real community in Santiago, or an outside environment to use the devices and make the simulation.

Fab City // How To Make It Happen In Your City

Working Group: Fab City Bootcamp // How To Make It Happen In Your City *** Goals *** Kickstarted at FAB7 in Lima by Tomas Diez (Fab Lab Barcelona | IAAC), Working group to start elaborate strategies to implement the process in your city. Working group to start elaborate strategies to implement a prototype in your city. How we are working in Paris to launch a prototype and which initiatives are arising (coliving, fablab building, superlab, public space redesign, etc…).

Fab Lab for efficient usage of water for agriculture in water scarcity regions

Fab Lab for efficient use of water for agriculture in water scarcity regions. In India, we are facing crises in agriculture due to shortage in rainfall. At Vigyan Ashram, we are experimenting with using less water to grow more agriculture produce. We tried hydroponic to grow fodder, BIOME Dome for growing horticultural plants, Aqua-ponics for fishery and organic vegetables. We made automation system for them in the fab lab. The workshop will demonstrate the prototypes and share the experience of efficient water use, its recycling and to improve water level. It will also present the challenges to work on.

Simple Dynamo generator

During this workshop, we will learn how to use a motor in order to generate electricity. We will also understand the use of gears to amplify rotation, and oversee how the design process of a small generator using laser cutter parts and produce a 2D drawing with Fusion 360

Super-fun times making super Soft Sensors

Back by popular demand, with a new super-fun team running it! Participants will learn to create embedded sensors for use in e-textiles applications. The workshop focuses strongly on demonstrating and enabling co-learning experiences, allowing space for attendees to integrate existing experience and interests. The session will consist of a mix of individual and group-based hands-on learning, alongside discussion, analysis and lots of laughter. A little sewing and electronics knowledge handy but not required.

Fab Labs with impact & Leveraging the Fab Lab network

Join us in the Humanitarian FabKit track for a series of roundtables, challenges and other discussions. As an outcome of this track we hope to create active communities of interest to follow-up on each topic after Fab13.

Fab Academy GRADUATION CEREMONY

It's time to get regarded! Congratulations to all FabAcademy Students 2017, this is the big moment for you!

Quality Testing In-Field Prototypes Q&A

Humanitarian Makers is a grassroots, global community of makers and humanitarians supporting disaster response. We are in the process of narrowing our focus to enable effective, global engagement. Participants will also be able to walk-through a 3D print of a Field Ready prototype

Modular citizen science with sensor bricks and LEGO

Build your own smart sensor kit with internet enabled bricks and traditional LEGO! You get a hands-on experience in building your own smart device that you can control via a web interface or your voice with an Amazon Alexa. Build your own smart lamp that blinks when you get a Tweet, build a citizen science kit or control a game using your breath. You will get creative with Joris' final project prototypes which are Fab Lab made LEGO bricks with all kinds of smart technology inside, like sensors, LEDs and WiFi. This workshop is also great if you're an educator and want to learn how to use these new bricks in a learning environment.
