This Saturday is a great day to change the world. It’s earth Day. There’s a national March for science where millions will demand evidence-based change. We’re doing our own thing. We’re leading a World Create Day, where hackers gather ’round the soldering iron and find services to problems we all face.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been getting Hackaday readers to organize meetups in their hometowns, encouraging them to get a few people over, and sending them a bit of neat Hackaday swag. We couldn’t do this without the community leaders out there, and we’d just like to take a moment and recognize a few of the fablabs and hackerspaces that are making world create Day possible.
A keyfob that makes turning a lock simpler for those with limited mobility
Up in Vancouver, the folks at the Spinal cord Injury Forum will be spending their world create Day building tools that make life simpler for people with limited mobility. already they’re doing some awesome work with 3D printing, and with a few much more minds tackling these problems, they’re sure to come up with something good.
This is a worldwide event, and we have hackerspaces from Cairo to Osaka taking part. Do you know where Tenerife is? There’s a world create Day meetup there, too.
To give you a little much more encouragement to attend a world create Day meetup near you, just remember we’re still at the start of the Hackaday Prize, a competition where we’re giving away a quarter million dollars to build hardware that will change the world. even if there isn’t a world create Day meetup near you, you can always start your own meetup for tomorrow, or just go solo. and don’t forget to show off what’s going on using the #WorldCreateDay hashtag.
This isn’t an event to miss. When else will you be able to come up with creative services to problems with a worldwide audience? find a meetup near you and do something constructive tomorrow.
