Launching the Canadian Maker Passport!
I’m excited to announce the launch of the Canadian Maker Passport! This is a project I’ve been working on with ThingTankLab for the past couple months. The first passports were distributed at SoOnCon on September 30th, and were gone in a flash! If we do say so ourselves, they are pretty awesome and we can’t wait to get them out to more people.
The Canadian Maker Passport encourages greater collaboration between individuals at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship and design. This Passport also acts as an entry point for individuals interested in following their passion and discovering what the Canadian maker community has to offer.
With the Passport, Canadian makers (whether members of a hacker/maker space or not) are invited to collect stamps from the various hackerspaces and hacker/maker events throughout the country or even abroad! We’re also inviting space & event organizers to create their own personalized stamps.
Current participants stamping Maker Passports include are ThinkHaus, Site3, Interaccess, Hacklab.to, SoOnCon, ThingTank Lab, kwartzlab, Diyode and unLondon. We’re always looking for more spaces and events to add to the passport.
Get Involved!
