A good way to start your region is assessing the Fab City Full Stack with your core team.

The Fab City Full Stack approach

https://fab.city/

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.

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

Please feel free to contact make.works@fablabbcn.org for further information.

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.

  • 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).

The Fab City Full Stack approach aims to flourish the different components of the , including:

Local inventory of infrastructure for innovation and learning

Learning by doing training programmes for existing educational institutions, and for workforce new skills

Global repository of innovative solutions for productive cities

Open resource infrastructure for sourcing local manufacturing and materials

Impact measurement tools for Fab Cities

Local governance and (‘economic’) value exchange tools

If you are keen to start a new region, and believe you are represented in the section above, contact our Make Works Coordination Team at : alessandra@fablabbcn.org or make.works@fablabbcn.org.

We will organise a meetup with the potential team to kick off the process, provide the necessary guidelines, and, ultimately, create your Region Profile on .
