On April 11, the DGI team will visit the St Vincent and the Grenadines prison to continue building our collaboration on open-source technologies workshops for inmates. We will have presentations from:
— Adrian Bowyer, engineer, founder of the RepRap project — a talk on self-replicating 3D printers and the future of 3D printing;
— Igor Tylman, engineer and designer, founder of Tylman Design — an introduction to PET recycling and welding;
— Javier Rodriguez Ruiz, engineer, founder of PETciclo — a practical workshop on PET recycling from plastic waste.
The team will also bring a spirulina growing kit to demonstrate how to cultivate spirulina and prepare for practical workshops in October.
This series of workshops will be the start of a larger long-term project aimed to introduce open-source technological solutions for food, energy, and object production. This project will develop in parallel and in close connection with the work on the Survival Kit Collection and Museum of Care.
