1. Maker Movement The biggest and most efficient global innovation engine (but probably not so predictable) Jarkko Moilanen, @kyyberi ”Peer Production economy - revolution in design, development and manufacturing”
2. Hackerspace Makerspace
3. Community- operated physical places Shared interest in tinkering with technology Meet and work on their projects Learn from each other hackerspaces.org Hacker ethics
4. Typical hacker A typical member is a 27- 31 years old male with college level or higher education and committed to one hackerspace.
5. Diversity In reality: kids, students, women, men, elderly, educated, self-taught, slow, fast…
6. 24/7 hackathon in over 1500 spaces with 300 000 hackers
7. Low-cost 3D printers - example Invented 1980’s and kept in cathedrals - 3D printer costs high RepRap enters the scene 2006 – self replicating 3D printer supported by open hardware development RepRap adopted by maker movement. Boosted development, tinkering needed
8. 3D printer for the masses ”We got involved with the RepRap Project. 2009 we locked ourselves in our hackerspace, in a few months popped out actual product” NYC resistor 3D printing
9. Makerbot Industries Product development in hackerspace 2009 Market entry 2011 Raised $10 000 000 2013 Company sold for $403 000 000
10. Low-cost 3D printers Open source software Online design sharing platforms Personalisation and local production of goods 3D printing has entered the desktop
11. 3D printers - just the surface Maker Movement is the biggest and most efficient global innovation engine Hacking is a virtue Platform Jarkko Moilanen, @kyyberi ”Peer Production economy - revolution in design, development and manufacturing”
