ABOUT THE EVENT
The “THIS IS MY CITY – The Creative Festival”, the Cultural Association +853, the Minchee Lab and the University of Saint Joseph have the honor to invite you to attend the conference “THE *MAKER MOVEMENT*: A CHANCE FOR MACAU!” which will be held at the Macau Science Center’s Convention Center, on the 26th of November 2014, starting at 6 PM. The screening of the documentary “MAKER: A Documentary on the Maker Movement” will follow the conference.
This conference is part of the wider THIS IS MY CITY 2014 – The Creative Festival programme, an initiative of the Cultural Association +853 with the institutional support of the Macau’s Government Cultural Affairs Bureau.
The ‘Maker Movement’, sometimes called the ‘Third Industrial Revolution,’ subverts traditional manufacturing by building on innovative concepts such as open source, local manufacturing, crowd funding, and digital fabrication.
This conference will try to give an insight on this new transformative movement and its possible applications in Macau, having in mind the positive changes that it can bring on the educational and academic front, on the arts and design fields, on the business and economic life and the possible role that it can have as motor for the development of the creative industries.
