LabHack

Building interest in Open Hardware within African undergraduate communities

[LabHack @labhackathon]

We're excited to announce two LabHacks to take place in August/September in Zimbabwe and eSwatini. We're working in collaboration with @nepadsanbio with generous funding from the South African DST. Watch our website https://t.co/zXznNqE4J9 for more info.

Got me some @labhackathon stash! I talk to 100's of people about #openhardware for #openscience projects & I'm happy to be a walking business card dispenser - if you have cards/stickers send them my way. Promoting awareness is one key to adoption #AfricaOSH19 @GOSHCommunity
