| 10:40-11:00 | Alex Glow | A Better Hardware Life Cycle: Build Stuff Without Feeling Like a Jerk | At every step of the hardware life cycle, we can choose sustainable options. For the electronics enthusiast who wants to be part of the solution, Alex presents tips for choosing materials, design, production, repair, revitalization, upcycling, recycling, and more. | |
| DFRobot demo table in Discord 11:00am-12:00pm | 11:00-11:20 | Jerry de Vos | How Frustration Led to Delft Open Hardware | After pioneering plastic recycling for over a year at Precious Plastic, starting my masters was a cold shower. At Delft university things were different, a good project should file for a patent. This frustrated me a lot, but instead of yelling it was time for action. |
| DFRobot demo table in Discord 11:00am-12:00pm | 11:20-11:40 | Leon Anavi | Open Source Tools for Making Open Source Hardware | Is it worth making open source hardware using expensive proprietary software tools? Of course not! There are many open source software tools good enough for the job. In this presentation Leon Anavi will share his experience in combining open source hardware with free and open source software for fun and profit. |
| Break | 11:40-11:50 | Take a break! | ||
| DFRobot demo table in Discord 11:00am-12:00pm | 11:50-:12:10 | Vaibhav Chhabra | Community-Led Distributed Manufacturing | The M19 Initiative started in March 2020 when we were hit by COVID19. We started manufacturing face shields to support the frontline workers only to realize that we could make a few in our lab while the situation demanded a lot more. That was the beginning of the M19 Collective – Makers fighting COVID19. |
| 12:10-12:30 | Helen Little | Material Testing Procedure: How to Recycle All Kinds of Waste Plastic Via Pellet 3D Printing | Countless waste plastic streams can be potentially diverted from the environment and mechanically recycled via pellet 3D printing. In this presentation, Helen Little from re:3D will present a standardized open-source material testing procedure, developed after hundreds of hours of material testing across dozens of materials. | |
| 12:30-12:50 | Radhakrishna Sanka | FluigiCAD – Building open source CAD tools to make microfluidics more accessible | This talk will go over the challenges faced and strides made by the CIDAR Lab at Boston University and talk about how building domain-specific CAD tools are necessary for advancing DIY movements in emerging fields like synthetic biology. | |
| Lunch | 12:50-1:30 | Lunch! | ||
| 1:30-1:50 | Alison Parker | Open Source Hardware for Science, in the Context of Public Policy | In this presentation, we will describe some past, current, and future work to engage with public policy audiences around open source hardware for science. We will share what we’ve learned about federal audiences and how to strengthen connections between grassroots commmunities, academia, and government. | |
| Tindie, Supplyframe & Hackaday demo table on Discord 2-3 | 1:50-2:10 | Jake Read | Introducing an Open Systems Assembly Protocol, or, a proposal regarding how to build OSHW’s modular, networked future. | The Open Systems Assembly Protocol (OSAP!) is a new approach for the generation and integration of modular, interoperable hardware systems, and a love letter to computer plumbing and hardware heterogeneity. |
| Tindie, Supplyframe & Hackaday demo table on Discord 2-3 | 2:10-2:30 | Lukas F. Hartmann | Question Everything: How we Shipped an Open Hardware Laptop by Breaking all the Rules | After 4 years of (re)designing and prototyping an alternative portable computer that is repairable, user-controlled and as open and documented as possible, MNT Research managed to ship the first few hundred devices to backers. Often, the team had to do the opposite of established wisdoms. |
| Tindie, Supplyframe & Hackaday demo table on Discord 2-3 | 2:30-:2:50 | Robert Mies | How the Open Hardware Observatory (OHO) can help publish hardware | OHO team from Berlin, Germany shares knowledge and insight derived from their work within the first year since their foundation as an official association in Apr. 2021 in Berlin (DE). Their vision is to create an international community of people that – similar to Wikipedia – builds and develops a knowledge platform for free sustainable technical knowledge. |
| 2:50-3:10 | Dr. Alexander Adams | Equity-Driven Design | Dr. Adams will describe several novel sensing systems, which consider a population and their specific needs (e.g., cost, accessibility, privacy, etc.). He discusses how he applies equity-driven design to these systems and how it will help better serve the health of different populations that suffer from health disparities. | |
| Break | 3:10-3:20 | Take a break! | ||
| Digikey demo table on Discord, 3:30pm-4:30pm | 3:20-3:40 | Andy Quitmeyer | Open Source Toys for Endangered Animals | Whenever animals are held in captivity, (even if it is to help the animals, like at an animal rescue) they need mental stimulation to maintain their physical health. This talk discusses prototypes built for animals like sloths, tapirs, red pandas, orangutans, agoutis, tigers, and sun bears at places like the Singapore Zoo and the APPC animal rescue in Panama. |
| Digikey demo table on Discord, 3:30pm-4:30pm | 3:40-4:00 | Kathrin Weihe & Michel Langhammer | How to Enable Anyone to Build their Own Renewable Energy System | Providing open source resources to build your own photovoltaic energy system is a good start to advance the expansion of renewable energy systems – but requires technical knowledge and access to necessary tools can limit the audience that is actually able to build these systems on their own. In this talk we give an introduction to an open source hardware approach to building a solar box consisting of a solar panel, battery management system, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device and batteries. |
| Digikey demo table on Discord, 3:30pm-4:30pm | 4:00-4:20 | Anuradha Reddy | Knotty (Naughty) Hardware | This talk advocates for crochet as a medium to create knotty, naughty, yet useful OSH designs. By showcasing projects that combine crochet and computation, the talk hopes to empower people with even diverse skillsets such as weaving, braiding, and embroidery to make sustainable and inventive OSH solutions. |
| Digikey demo table on Discord, 3:30pm-4:30pm | 4:20-4:40 | Christin Lundgren | Can Pretty Antennas be Practical? Designing cuteformal antennas for WiFi/Bluetooth integration | With integrated LEDs, colorful substrates, and artistic soldermasks, fun PCBs are everywhere. Why not add fun antennas to the mix? Cuteformal antennas can add some pizzazz to any project! This talk discusses the process of designing and measuring a cute antenna for WiFi frequencies. |
| Panel Helium demo table on Discord, 4:30-5:30 | 4:40-5:40 | Robert Viseur and Bérengère Fally | Panel on Open Hardware and Health Tech | During the COVID-19 pandemic makers mobilized to address shortages of medical equipment. They activated transdisciplinary networks of local actors (including fablabs) to share design/knowledge and optimize developments. This brings us to a reflection on hospital practices in terms of purchasing and repair and increasing the resilience of territories. |
| Panel Helium demo table on Discord, 4:30-5:30 | 4:40-5:40 | Samuel McDermott | Panel on Open Hardware and Health Tech | Blood smearing is an important research and diagnostic procedure for investigating blood diseases, particularly for malaria. The autohaem project decided to develop open-source, low cost, blood smearing devices, to enable more people to produce consistent, automated, high-throughput blood smears. |
| Panel Helium demo table on Discord, 4:30-5:30 | 4:40-5:40 | Robert L. Read | Panel on Open Hardware and Health Tech | The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated a clear and present need for a complete, free-libre open-source, easily repairable, widely usable, safe and effective respiratory support medical device ecosystem. This talk will present what’s been done and what is needed. |
| Closing Remarks | 5:40-6:00 | Closing Remarks | Closing remarks | |
| Afterparty | 8:00 Onwards | Tech Trivia | twitch.com/trivialdispute |
All talks will be streamed live on the OSHWA YouTube channel the day of the event.
2022 Speakers
Keynote Speaker: Ashley Jane Lewis
A Few Tools for Re-Imagining the Future
A play on Octavia E. Butler’s A Few Rules for Predicting the Future, this talk considers strategies and places to look to when creating technologies and communities for worlds that are open and meant for everyone. Articulating her recent work, Ashley discusses ways that collective imagining, using familiar tools, have created inclusive, diverse depictions of the near and distant future.
