Droitwich, Uk

I'm currently leading a campaign to set up a local "Makerspace" community workshop for the Bromsgrove & Droitwich area (http://bdmakerspace.org.uk), and running regular free Repair Café and electronics/robotics workshops.I get the chance to combine my love of technology and traditional crafts, and give something back to the community where I live. We not only work with avid tinkerers, technologists and professional engineers, but also with those who want to "make stuff" and don't yet have the skills or the finances. It's a melting pot of craft, DIY, technology and community spirit.The campaign goes from strength to strength, with corporate sponsorship coming from KNEX UK, Gorilla Glue, Homebase, Antex (Soldering Irons), PLEX BuyASign, Janome Sewing Machines, the Micro:Bit foundation and various other local companies.
