Wijkbot at Maker Faire Delft

On 9 May, the Wijkbot was once again at Maker Faire Delft, this time as a guest at Stadslab Rotterdam. In addition to a WijkbotKit, the platform was used for a first demo version of a Lab Cart — a way to bring makerspaces into the neighbourhood.

A new Maker Faire Delft was organised on the TU Delft campus. Makers from technology, art, fashion and crafts showed how creativity contributes to a more sustainable world, with presentations, demonstrations and workshops for all ages. Sustainability and fashion were central themes, with upcycling and vintage inspiration.

Stadslab Rotterdam organised various demonstrations and had invited Wijkbot to attend. A first version of a new project — the Labkar — was showcased: how can a lab cart bring the makerspace into the neighbourhood?
