Contextualize and prototype solu;on
Strategy: Build an architecture of incen;ves
Pilot a fabrica;onhands-‐on workshop
• Pilot an initial fabrication workshop together with 20 kids and mentors
• Take notes, observe, reflect• Evaluate• Celebrate the first workshop success • Give certificates (DIY) badges to the
participants• Document process and project
Our Methodology
Iden;fy problem• Identify who is affected by the
problem• Identify main contributor to the
problem (expert matter)• Define target group & their needs• Check what is locally available
( People, Tools, Space, Electricity)• Make a list of possible benefits for all
parties involved• Think of interactive components to
engage young people (games, examples,success stories etc.)
• Check availability team & skills• Identify potential funding and timing• Define prototype features• List necessary materials• Prepare set up and use of location• Define number of local mentors that
will be trained• Prepare content for workshops• Finalize program and review initial
needs assessment
Strategy: Focus on the local ecosystem
Strategy: Lean approach and community involvement

Revenue model: example Nigeria team
In 2012 we received 2000$ investment to train 50 graduate students in Nigeria to run hands-‐on workshops with children
The trained team has organized 10 workshops with 400 children in 10 days.
Private schools paid for the workshops Public schools received the workshops for free.
All costs were covered with the income generated by workshops.
The same investor is funding now the hub in Nigeria to parOcipate in Afrimakers

Afrimakers book: Imagine the future
Afrimakers wants the project to enable parOcipants to re-‐imagine not only their present, but also their futures. This is why we have proposed a sub-‐project called "Imagine the Future" as a part of the iniOaOve.
Par;cipants will be crea;ng imaginary objects objects from the future A community of sci-‐fi writers have agreed to write stories about these objects o: Alex McDowell, Alastair Reynolds, Hannu Rajaniemi, Ramez Naam, David Levine and many more others.
