Hands-on Workshops: Creating WiFi networks with Raspberry Pis

We have some stocks of Raspberry Pis to give away to people who attend a workshop at Summerhall in Edinburgh.
Build your MAZI Zone and take it home with you!

The half-day workshops will provide “hands-on” opportunities to try out the MAZI DIY WiFi networking toolkit, based around the Raspberry Pi.

The workshops will be divided into two groups:

Workshop 1 will be for people with some coding knowledge (this can be quite limited!) who are interested in finding out more about it all works, and perhaps getting involved in supporting the on-going development of the open-source project.
Workshop 2 is for technical novices and people with an interest in how the technologies can be used in domains such as; education, art & creativity, and civic & community participation.

Free Symposium: DIY Technologies for Action and Empowerment: Stories, practice and perspectives

The MAZI project is developing a toolkit for building local, community wireless networks using Raspberry Pis. We are inviting you to join us for talks and stories of how we used this technology in practice. The symposium will present case studies from our pilot studies in Berlin, Zurich, London and northern Greece, along with talks by invited speakers. Building on the context of our own MAZI experiences, we will broaden out the debate with perspectives from outside the project.

Symposium speakers include:
Chris Csíkszentmihályi, Madeira Interactive Technology Institute, and the Rootio Project
Janis Lena Meissner, Digital Civics at Open Lab, Newcastle University, UK
Denise Allan, Wee Replicators, Edinburgh, UK
Elizabeth Wright & Loyane Bianchini, Reverso, São Paulo, Brazil
Adnan Hadzi, Digital Arts, University of Malta
Jeremy Singer, FRμIT: The Federated RaspberryPi Micro-Infrastructure Testbed. Glasgow University, UK

Where next? Future directions and challenges.
To end the symposium day, we will present a panel debate with speakers, titled: From Do-It-Yourself to Do-It-Together: Perspectives on the future use of community networking technologies for grassroots social impact.
