2017 –  Smart Coconuts for Stupid Cities (engl.)
Channel: Make Munich
Date: 2017-05-07

This presentation is mostly about coconuts... and other tools & toys for an appropriate and interdisciplinary (maker) education framework in low-resource settings. Throughout my travels and collaborations in India, Nepal and Indonesia, I have faced a wide range of environments of hackerspaces, schools, fablabs and community centers, which has shaped the projects that will be presented. The current Zeitgeist of "Innovation" will be critically reflected upon and examples shown where existing knowledge and local materials can be much more of a "solution" than what we dream up in a 2-days stupid "hackathon".
