makingitconf

Half day on October 12th 2018 to explore the UK maker movement, the future of maker communities and selling as and to makers. 2019 event more than probable.

A reminder that the CFP is still up for @AdasList Conf which I'm producing this year. If you identify as a woman, come and give a talk, run a workshop, whatever.

Tell ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

There might not be a #Woodstock50 but I'm celebrating by asking women to help me reedit The Whole Earth Catalog for today.

1. Pick a word
2. Submit a related link, book, business you'd like a young woman today to read about.
3. RT.

@iotwatch @whaleygeek @Dr_val_lynch @embedded_iot @Ka81 @richard007_1999 @The_LinkSpace @ANDTechResearch @DrLucyRogers @makingitconf As #makingitconf revealed there may be a Venn Diagram of Makers in the UK where they are obvs not one homegenous blob. But to my mind there are lots of things in common, and the big one is perceived value of the craft & product and how we raise that awareness

On our way to our first event cutting up donated tubs at @CANWaterloo ✂️✂️✂️ so that we can turn them into piranha clamps!

Grateful for your help and support and really interested to hear about your plastic passions🌟

@solstatdes @DoESLiverpool @hipyliv Well it's not for the lack of trying :)

[Gemma Potter @gemmamaypotter]

Really nice reflections on Friday's @Makingitconf @DoESLiverpool by @iotwatch Especially like the idea that the term 'maker' could be sub categorised in the future https://t.co/FJRvEEQHwR

[Adrian McEwen @[email protected] @amcewen]

@codekat It was, thanks! Nice to get the reminder of the 80s parallels that @smithadrianpaul had unearthed, and your global perspective on the overlapping communities #makingitconf

[James Boardwell @jamesb]

Ditto. Some great conversations too - loved the satchel story. #makingitconf

[Emma Bearman @EmmaMBearman]

Had the very best day over at @DoESLiverpool - thanks very much for inviting me, I learned a huge amount, made some ace connections, cemented friendships further. Say hello if we talked but I don’t get follow you here #makingitconf

[Emma Bearman @EmmaMBearman]

Ambition after yesterday @DoESLiverpool #makingitconf is to look at how we can learn from @SparkPenkethand embed MakerEd #STEAM at a high school level in Leeds - is this isomething you think is possible @cgarside?

[Alex @embedded_iot]

Learning about Da Vinci Resolve today as I play with the video we captured @makingitconf. Love this tool!

[makingitconf @makingitconf]

Knitting and weaving partnerships between small communities and larger ones as well as cultural organisations is a possible model for the future of #making

How do we learn to garden our local ecologies.
