How to: Use Make Works

Make Works has an editing mode for all Region Champions. This is accessible through the general Make Works website. This is how you enter everything for your region - About page, listings, events and project listings, details of your team, etc.

Once logged in, the Make Works Coordination Team will make you a Region Champion. Please contact make.works@fablabbcn.org if you are encountering any issues.

Once logged in, youll see your name on the top right corner of make.works. Click your name to open the drop down menu, available to all Make Works users, with the following options and purpose:

  • User settings - allows you to update your profile with a picture and short biography

  • Saved listings - shows all listings you have saved using the 'star' option on individual listings

  • My listings - shows listings / companies where you are employed at or own

  • Created by me - shows all the listings you have created

Please complete your profile in User settings as your profile will be automatically shown in the 'team' section of your region.

Once you are Region Champion you will have full access to your regions page which can be accessed at https://make.works/regions. Enter your region by clicking your region's name. By clicking on edit in the top left corner you will be able to edit all mandatory fields:

Short info - Should be a 3 - 4 sentence long introduction of your region. You can include and highlight the organisations you work with or just give a brief overview.

About text - Here is where you can get creative. Feel free to explain in more detail about your region. How you first engaged with Make Works, your objectives or vision and who you are working or collaborating with in your region.

Partner text - This is not a mandatory field to fill in. It offers extra space in case you want to write more about your local partners or funding supporters. Please send your partner and funders logos to make.works@fablabbcn.org. Our Coordination Team will upload the logos for you.
