# How to: Fab City Full Stack Workshop
A good way to start your [Make Works](https://make.works/) region is assessing the Fab City Full Stack with your core team.
## The Fab City Full Stack approach
## Description
Fab City has been building a full stack of tools and methodologies to enable local ecosystem mapping, while being connected with the global network of collaborators, in a collaborative approach for such an ambitious vision.
The Fab City Full Stack approach aims to flourish the different components of the [Fab City Global Initiative](https://fab.city/), including:
* Local inventory of infrastructure for innovation and learning [*fablabs.io*](https://www.fablabs.io/)
* Learning by doing training programmes for existing educational institutions, and for workforce new skills\
[*academany.org*](https://academany.org/)
* Global repository of innovative solutions for productive cities [*projects.fablabs.io*](https://projects.fablabs.io/)
* Open resource infrastructure for sourcing local manufacturing and materials\
[*make.works*](https://make.works/)
* Impact measurement tools for Fab Cities\
[*dashboard.fab.city*](https://dashboard.fab.city/)
* Local governance and (‘economic’) value exchange tools [*fabchain.cc*](https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Fab_Chain)
* Fab City Handbook for peer learning and open design [*fabcity.gitbook.io/handbook/*](https://fabcity.gitbook.io/handbook/)
## Workshop objectives and structure:
The Fab City Full Stack card game aims to provide a playful approach to identify opportunities within local ecosystems of innovation and accelerate the implementation of the Fab City approach at the local level.
Objectives:
* To identify the local actors in the productive ecosystem
* To identify databases of local metrics to evaluate the city performance
* To identify potential Fab City Prototypes
* To define and layout potential policies to support the local Fab City ecosystem
* To connect participants and Fab City platforms and tools, in order to sync with the global partners

If you are keen to start a new region, and believe you are represented in the [Who can set up a Make Works region?](https://books.fablabbcn.org/make-works/introduction/who-can-set-up-a-make-works-region) section above, contact our Make Works Coordination Team at [IAAC](https://iaac.net/): or .
We will organise a meetup with the potential team to kick off the [on boarding](https://books.fablabbcn.org/make-works/on-boarding-new-make-works-regions) process, provide the necessary guidelines, and, ultimately, create your Region Profile on [Make Works](https://make.works/).
## FAQ
* **What is the timescale for onboarding as a region?**\
\
Once the region is ready to set up their Make Works, the following are indicative timescales:
* 1-2 months: Planning and team building, but can be more if fundraising is required
* 3-6 months: Content creation and capacity building
* 7-10 months: up and running
* **What roles are required to run a Make Works region?**\
\
Depending on your status, team size, budget and other factors, the following are roles we believe are required, whether performed by an individual or team:
* Project Coordinator or Region Champion legal entity or representative of legal entity to enter into the agreement with IAAC and fundraise
* The Region Champion for the local ecosystem, gathering information for and maintaining listings, plus relationships with listed factories
* Filming and editing, photographer/filmmaker
* Communications, to manage social media, enquiries, mailing lists, events, etc.
* **What is the organisational structure of other regions? How are these managed and by whom?**\
\
Get inspired with [Make Works region](https://make.works/regions)’s **About** pages:
* [UAE](https://make.works/regions/uae)
* [Derby & Derbyshire](https://make.works/regions/derby)
* **Are individuals involved in setting up other regions able to pay themselves for their time?**\
\
To set up a new region, the Region Champion is expected to partner with a strong local organisation (or be part of), which will be a legal representative for Make Works activities locally and the agreement. Onboarding a new Make Works region requires guaranteeing a sustainable infrastructure, preferably a Fab City member - with a paid local team (desirable).
