Position: Project Manager, concept developer and content creator.
Fabriken, now called Malmö Makerspace, was Sweden's first Makerspace, started as an experiment with a strong pull from Malmö University. In the beginning Fabriken was managed just by a group of people that gathered and experimented with the machines, but we realized that the space and the machines were deteriorating and we needed to find a way to make the project sustainable. We went through a deep cleaning and process of renovation and in August 2013 we opened again with a new membership system, several new machines and a unique partnership with the company Arduino Verkstad that helped us to continue to be first with the latest technologies.
Part of my work with the project was to lead the renovation and the changes made in the methodology of Fabriken as well as the partnerships. The membership based workshop allowed many of the members learn how to use machines such as laser-cutter, 3D printer and CNC-Miller. We also created workshops where we mixed crafts and technology both for children and adults.
As a project manager for Fabriken I get even to work with a fantastic team of people that were key to the development of Fabriken becoming not Swedens first Makerspace, but the best!
As a part of the project we were interested in finding comercial partners, Conrad Elektronik gave us a sponsorship in exchange of content creation, and these are some of the videos we created for them:
