The last few months have been a bit frustrating for our team. With the space under renovation, we couldn’t really organize events the way we used to. But now that we are operational again and with a greater capacity, we have the space to free our creativity and organize events and opportunities to get together, learn and…

With so many things happening every day, this week has gone by incredibly fast. The fifth and last day of FAN2 is finally here, setting a sentimental mood for the last round of Fablab presentations. Below are some interesting tidbits of the day. Fablab Hamamatsu Mr. Takemura Takashi set up a small lab in his…
As we sat in for more lab reviews this morning, I realized that I was not bored because today’s talks highlighted a different aspect of fabrication.

Last week, I attended the Vietnam Engineering Education Conference (VEEC 2015) in Danang. As a co-founder of Fablab Saigon, I was invited to share my view on the Makers Movement and what it means for the next generation of engineers in Vietnam.

Among events from other countries, there are screenings in America, Europe, Africa and other countries in Asia.
