Makercosmos is a four-year maker education programme in Arn-
hem, the Netherlands, which comprises the development of series
of maker education lessons and participatory action research about
learning in maker education, among other activities. This study
reports findings from the first pilot of this series, with a particu-
lar focus on how the research part was designed, developed, and
delivered. Practice showed, that in our context asking teachers to
teach and to carry out data collection for research simultaneously
produced only meagre results when using a conventional notebook
approach. Design principles are suggested to remodel the research
approach

Revolutionizing School – Fablab@school dk 2016 KeynotePeter Troxler
Maker Education is a new method of learning. It promises that students not only learn to "read" technology but also become able to "write" it—an approach previously not found in the education system. The core of this method is that students themselves take ownership of their learning process by working on challenges they can solve by applying digital manufacturing technology.
An important prerequisite for "writing" technology however remains the ability to "read" it. However, technology today is often read protected—hardware has "no serviceable parts inside", the source code of software is not available to users. The remedy is open hardware and open source software; and education has equally to embrace open design principles.
3D Printing and Open Design. A Bright Future for Engineering and Design Profe...Peter Troxler
The coming decades will bring revolutionary changes to manufacturing. A large share of production could shift from mass manufacturing to local, small batch manufacturing. The main driver behind this development are the possibilities of 3D printing.
Additionally, companies will probably include open source strategies to manage their portfolio of intellectual assets. Crowd sourced innovation will complement in-house R&D activities. Engineers and designers will be faced with a radically new working environment and new demands on their work. 3D printing brings new freedoms in engineering and design. Open design evokes the image of the designer as an orchestrator of co-design. But brutal pressure on speed and efficiency in engineering and design might be a consequence of small batch production. And there is the democratisation of the means of production: As blogs for journalists and Instagram for professional photographers, easy design tools and 3D printers might turn into a menace for the design profession itself.

Open Design in a changing design practicePeter Troxler
Open design is a practice that borrows its way of working from open source software and brings these principles to the discipline of design.

I take stock of the state of play of Open Source Hardware (OSH) from a variety of perspectives: What does the current OSH landscape look like? What are the basic legal aspects of OSH (protection vs. “licensing”)? What are the dimensions of OSH practices?
Then I shall highlight the important challenges and opportunities that OSH is confronted with currently and the developments that are needed to turn OSH into a long-term success.

Keynote at FAD Open Design / Shared Creativity Conference in Barcelona, 5 Jul...Peter Troxler
Open Source—standing on the shoulders of giants—is the preferred mode of production, insight and creativity today, and even more so when the 3rd industrial revolution starts to take effect: distributed and collaborative relationships, and a shift away from hierarchical power and toward lateral power.
The 3rd industrial revolution is bringing affordable digital tools into the sphere of manufacturing and beyond: Affordable tools do not require huge capital investments; they bridge the labour-capital-divide, the owner-maker is re-emerging. Digital tools connect designing and manufacturing, they bridge the white collar-blue collar-divide, the designer-producer is having a comeback. Affordable digital tools also spread outside the industrial world, they bridge the producer-consumer-divide in new and powerful ways.
Open source practice in software is characterized by structures that 'resemble a great babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches'. Similar practices have yet to evolve in (open) design. Is it conceivable that a design brand start to release beta products early and often, to delegate designing to the ‘users’, and to involve those ‘users’ as beta testers? How likely are designers to share semi-finished work with colleagues, even from different disciplines or the other side of the world, and to accept that others might take their intermediary results, sketches and models, continue to work on them and turn them into next-step intermediary results that are quite different to what the initial designer conceived them to be?
There is a small micro cosmos out there, the global network of Fab Labs, where some of these questions can be explored. Fab Labs are pretty popular with designers, but larger scale co-operative projects have so far been in the domains of engineering and education. What would be the reason: Is it a lack of interest, a disbelief in the power of the results, a missing skill, an absent opportunity, too early to tell—or are we just not seeing the projects?

Sketching the overall context in which we will discuss and develop the idea of a "common descriptor language" as an interchange format for sharing (Fab Lab) documentation, independent of systems used at individual labs.

Fab Lab – nach dem Konzept von Neil Gershenfeld: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/Beschrieben im Buch: The Coming Revolution on Your Desktop--from Personal Computers to Personal Fabrication (Neil Gershenfeld, 2005).“What if you could someday put the manufacturing power of an automobile plant on your desktop? According to Neil Gershenfeld, the renowned MIT scientist and inventor, the next big thing is personal fabrication-the ability to design and produce your own products, in your own home, with a machine that combines consumer electronics and industrial tools. Personal fabricators are about to revolutionize the world just as personal computers did a generation ago, and Fab shows us how. Editorial Review - Reed Business Information (c) 2005When technology manufacturer Ken Olson proclaimed in 1977 that "[t]here is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home," he vastly underestimated the device's functionality. Gershenfeld (director, Ctr. for Bits and Atoms, MIT; When Things Start To Think) waxes enthusiastic about the coming of the "personal fabricator," that is, "a machine that makes machines." If you think Star Trek's "replicator" is purely science fiction, get ready for "fab labs." Gershenfeld and his colleagues have established these breeding grounds of invention in India, Africa, Norway, and Boston to empower local people to use technology to create jewelry from junk, capture solar power, and make milk safe to drink. Throughout, we are shown how art and artisan have reunited "to put control of the creation back in the hands of its users" and make science hands-on for children, engineers, and rural craftspeople alike.

Author BioPeter Troxler is an independent researcher, concept developer and implementor at the intersection of business administration, society and technology. His interest and expertise are in management systems, such as quality and knowledge management, in the application of technologies, particularly Internet and Web 2.0 technology, and in the overall architecture and design of the social, technological and commercial aspects of enterprises. He is equally intrigued by the challenges of investigating models that explain and applying these models to both companies as permanent and projects as temporary organisations. One current topic is how structural and societal conditions influence and are influenced by various forms of co-creation, for example the current intellectual property and copyright regimes.Peter has worked as a research manager in knowledge management and technologies at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland, UK; 2001-2004) and he has been a researcher in industrial psychology at ETH Zurich (1993-1999). Peter also workes in business as a senior consultant for Akronym GmbH , Switzerland, (since 1997), as a senior project manager at Waag Society, The Netherlands, (2007-2009) and for GEC Alsthom (now Areva T&D) Switzerland as an industrial engineer (1988-1995).Next to his business and academic assignments, Peter has helped to initiate various interdisciplinary cultural and artistic projects—in Lucerne (Switzerland) and Melk (Austria) he co-founded the group p&s (2000) that is responsible for the European project readme.cc virtual library (funded by the European Culture 2000 programme), and in Aberdeen (Scotland, UK) he initiated the project Oil and the City (2004/5) discussing the impact of the oil industry on the social life an cohesion in the city. Peter’s contribution was in bridging the gap between culture and entrepreneurship. His interest in these projects was integrating arts, academia and media, and bringing about public involvement and public discourse.Peter holds a Dr. sc. techn. and an MSc. in industrial engineering from ETH Zurich, he received a certificate in International Copyright Law from the University of Amsterdam, and he has received formal training in online journalism, in educational video production, as a facilitator for Local Agenda 21 and for Future Workshops, and in audio engineering.w: http://www.square-1.eue: peter@square-1.eut: @trox
