1. Your name, and that of your organisation (or the organisation that will receive funds on your behalf).
Spyridon Nompilakis, Odyssea
2. Name of event. Make another post with another event name if you have another event.
Learning OSH through assembling
3. Email address by which you may be contacted.
4. What open science hardware tool(s) will be the focus of your event?
Libre Water, solar desalination system.
All the relevant manufacturing techniques, like 3d printing, CNC milling and building electronics, as per the repository described.
5. Describe your course or workshop, whom and what it is for, where and when it will be held, how many attendees (IRL or virtual) you expect.
The workshop will be hands-on and will be held at the Odyssea makerspace in May 2023. All Odyssea programme participants shall be invited. The focus will be on makers. Some 15-20 participants shall be able to join. The participants will be familiarized with OSH and its development processes, covering various aspects from licensing, repository building, CAD programme selection, documentation, open collaboration to actual building and assembling. Various kits of the Libre Water prototype will be provided and the participants will assemble them, following the guidelines. Through this process and the teachings from the organisers they will have the chance to familiarize with OSH products, understand the value, strengths and weaknesses of working with OSH and be more ready to apply the related principles in their own projects.
6. Do you have plans for ongoing activities after this event OR is it intended that the participants will continue activities after this event? If so, describe the intentions and plans here.
A hackathon is planned as a follow-up. Interesting participants will continue working on the project or will get assistance from the organisers to apply the taught principles for their own projects. They can also apply for other Odyssea programmes to further study and practise these principles, e.g. in the New Product Development Workshop.
7. What event outputs (e.g. teaching materials, curricula, software, etc.) will you make available? Will these outputs carry an open licence?
All teaching material will carry an open license.
8. What you will use the grant for, roughly.
300$ for two organisers to prepare and run the workshop
150$ for material
50$ for snacks
9. Provide links (references) to documentation or reviews of similar
events or works you have executed.
