Makers' Hour (aka Makers' Summit, aka Makers' Night)
The goal is to return XinCheJian Open Night to its roots: connecting makers and promoting making.
Who is it for?
Makers with a physical project of some kind (3d printer, robot, IoT, interactive installation).
Participants must have a concrete thing to present (prototype, platform, demo, hardware of some sort).
What form does it take?
- A roundtable with quick self-introduction to everyone's project
- Q&A between makers
- freeform discussions in English and Chinese groups
Who leads it?
- Staff members of XinCheJian/Xinfab (one English speaker, one Chinese speaker)
When is it?
- From 8pm to 9pm on Wednesdays, after Open Night
- Weekly or biweekly (to be announced in the XinCheJian newsletter)
What are the results?
- Visibility for the participating makers and their projects
- Shared resources/knowledge (such as microcontrollers platforms used)
- Documented projects in the wiki
- Help from XinCheJian
