Community Call: mAkE/GIG | Talk with Maker Residents (MiR) II

August 14 @ 2:00 pm 6:00 pm

Note: Time Displayed in CEST

In this call we will have Basaninyange (Tinah) Martine (Rwanda) and Leonard Shayo (Tanzania) from the mAkE Africa EU Makers in Residency (MiR) program. Some of you might have already met  during the GIG week in Berlin or have come across their profile in the last nomination email!

The MiR program aims to provide valuable exchanges between European and African makers and makerspaces. This year, 4 African makers traveled to France, Belgium and Spain to experience the local makerspace culture and develop innovative prototypes with expert support. Tinah and Leonard are going to share insights about their experience, the makerspaces hosting them, the new skills acquired, and the prototypes that they have developed during their one month residency in Europe.
