Make:Shift:Do Update

Make:Shift:Do: Friday 27 and Saturday 28 October 2017
Dear all,
I just wanted to send a reminder that applications for Make:Shift:Do close in just under a week, on Monday 21st August. We’ve had some great applications so far, including:
· Robot-building and coding, exploring the impact artificial intelligence might have on human wellbeing
· E-textiles and biometric monitoring
· Digitally-designed laser-cut jewellery with personal wellbeing messages
· Workshops combining digital embroidery and 3D printing with traditional hand-making to explore the meaning of ‘handmade’ and its impact on wellbeing
· A project investigating methods for the fabrication of bespoke, patient-specific support pads in auxetic foams for patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis
This year our partners will include Create Education, who support educators to introduce and imbed 3D printing into their work. Create have kindly offered to extend their offer of the free loan of an Ultimaker 3D Printer to Make:Shift:Do venues for this year’s festival, subject to availability. If you’d like to take them up on this, please apply via their website and make a note of this on your Make:Shift:Do application form.
Other confirmed partners include the Institute of Making, Centre for Fine Print Research, and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. We have a wide variety of venue applications so far, including makerspaces, Fablabs, galleries, museums, and libraries.
If you’d like to discuss your application with me please do drop me a line— I’m out of the office tomorrow but will here on Thursday and Friday. The details of how to apply are pasted below this email.
Best wishes,
Zoe

Make:Shift:Do: Friday 27 and Saturday 28 October 2017
Dear all,
I’m delighted to announce that applications for Make:Shift:Do are now open! Further to my email below, you can now view the full application details and apply to host an event here.
Bursaries are available to help makerspaces, fab labs, science centres, galleries and other venues offer free workshops and open days to introduce families and young people to cutting-edge approaches to making, changing perceptions of the meaning of ‘craft’ and revealing its real world potential. As part of the festival we can offer support for Open Days (£100), Workshops (£300), or Partnership Workshops (£400). All events must be free to attend.
Before you make an application please review our guidance notes on this year’s programme. If you have any questions about the application process or foresee any issues with the application timeline, please get in touch. I am happy to answer questions, discuss your ideas for this year’s events, or put you n touch with potential partners.
Please feel free to share this information with other potential Make:Shift:Do-ers! Applications close on Monday 21st August at noon.
Best wishes,
Zoe
