Helpful Tips

The Leonardo Da Vinci grant:
We are a starting community and do not have the regular income that would allow us to pay you. Therefore we recommend that you will apply to the leonardo da-vinci program so that you can get a fair income while doing the internship.
On the other side we believe that when one earns, everybody earns. Therefore if during your internship you participate in a project that we charge for, you will also receive a fee for your help.
If you want to know more details about the internship please write directly to pedro.p (at) wecreativepeople (.) com

MakerLab: Milan 2011

MakerLab: Milan 2011

We are coordinating the next MakerLab which will take place at various location during the Public Design Festival and Salone del Mobile

The Maker Lab: Milan (Edition)

At the MakerLab: Milan, we will provide a focal point for the community to take actions to positively hack their urban environment. Bringing tools, resources and expertise from Berlin, the MakerLab: Milan will collaborate directly with diferent elements of the Milan Maker, Hacker and Public Culture to share skills, ideas and tools with which the community of Milan can engage in a physical dialogue with their public space.

Hack your city

In tune with the Salone del Mobile and the Public Design Festival we will run a Public Hacking workshop. We will Invite people to bring their own chairs, and locally found materials, then hack, modify and up-cycle them.

The spots we are going to be at during the Public Design Festival

With this workshop we are trying to change the passive behavior of people towards their city and challenge them to take an active role in shaping their public space.

Parallel to this we will open and share our mobile-workshop space, where the Public from Milan and all its visitors can exchange production skills, and apply them to the co-production of their own urban environment.

Finally, we will also challenge the conception of creative ownership by inviting designers to bring their latest chair’ design to be hacked publicly.

Visual Search: Finding out new ways of maping information

Visual Search: Finding out new ways of maping information
Imagine a way to easily map and search for curious spots in your city based on any interest or information…
Imagine instant updates, past, present and future events portrayed visually…
Imagine new ways to link and compare different perspectives of the city…

We are interested in creating dynamic new way of visualising our city – a user-generated online map, that can be added to and searchable by time, space, and participants.
Visualization from the book City Crawlers by Your Neighbours
We are looking for people who know of mapping projects like this, who are interested in developing them, or who are already working on a project of this kind.
We are members of different project groups with similar goals, and we would like to share our ideas with more people who are on the same track. We want to open up the discussion of online mapping and see whether we can work together more creatively and effectively to  really utilize the potential of open source, interactive and user-generated mapping.
The key questions that we would like to work on are:
Why are online maps great projects for the world?
How can we engage people in online mapping, visual searchs and mash-ups?
How can we cross-reference and share information and resources between different types of map-based projects?
Other questions formulated from gathered insights

This Enable Session will try to build an overview of projects that are curently existing or that are in development; question why people want to make, use or customise maps; and discuss some of the struggles or successes which these types of projects experience. There will be a creative and fun hands-on collaborative mapping challenge, and then we will open up the discussion to find out ways to support or connect existing projects, and the possiblities in giving and gathering information through new visualisations of our city.
It would be great if those people who already have a project in existence, in development, or even just in their imagination could prepare a quick presentation, up to 3 minutes in length answering to the following three questions:
- What is your project?
What are/were your motivations for starting it? What makes your project special or unique? Who/what is your project for?
- What state is it in?
How does it currently exist? what does it look like? is it being used? is it how you expected it to be?
- What is the next step?
Where to next? How do you see the project developing? What factors are helping you to/stopping you from moving forward?

The session will take place Wed 3rd of November at 19:30 in Open Design City. And you are all invited to come!

Enable- Knowledge. Session lV
(2 votes)

Dear People:

The Enable sessions lV will be started by Benedikt Foit from Vic Ventures. The project being undertaken -Energy Streetfight- tries to deal with our current environmental challenges in a fun way.

The aim is to create an interactive game which challenges the inhabitants of Stargarder Straße, a lively street in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district, to compete on a per-house basis to use fewer natural resources (water, gas, electricity). Each house's inflow of aforementioned natural resources is measured, converted to a per capita figure and publicly displayed on a leader-board via a screen on an 'Energy Litfaßsäule' as well as on a website. The playful (opt-in) approach, supported by sound game mechanics and incentives, high public visibility, a diverse and dedicated project team, easy scalability as well as the underlying business model are the strengths of this proposal.

The Question to the community is how could we enhance the playfulness of this project?

For this session we are planning a slightly more fund and proactive format. So if you have some good ideas, or know somebody who does, or just want to come and have some fun, please feel welcome to come next Wednesday 28th of July 2010 @ Open Design City


Open Design City:Betahaus, Prinzessinnenstraße 19-20. 10969 Berlin (U-bahn Moritz Platz)
