  1. What open science hardware tool(s) will be the focus of your event?
  1. 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.

During the pandemic, we started a online event series called Open Hardware Meetup, with the goal to built a local community around OSH and OScH. However, the last event was in 2021 and we want to revive it now, starting with a hybrid event focusing on OSH projects we have been developing ourselves. We want to invite possible users from the fablab/makerspace and research communities, teach them about the possibilities these project offer and how to get started. The exact date still needs to be defined, it will be end of April/beginning of May. We are expecting 30-40 people attending in person and a similar amount remote.

  1. 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.

As said, we want to revive the series, it is planned to continue with more events.

  1. What event outputs (e.g. teaching materials, curricula, software, etc.) will you make available? Will these outputs carry an open licence?

The projects themselves have published documentation, each with open licensing. The online stream of the event is planned to be recorded and made available.

  1. What you will use the grant for, roughly.

Room rent: 200$
Technical support: 150$
Snacks, drinks 150$

  1. Provide links (references) to documentation or reviews of similar
    events or works you have executed.
