CommentsYou know how it is, you see something on a site, and want to write a comment, but the site demands that you become a member first, and there’s a whole registration process with input fields, and avatar uploads and so on, and you finally go “Eh, I’m not THAT eager to voice my though!”. Sucks doesn’t it? Well, we feel that it should be easy to make yourself heard, which is why we have removed our previous membership demand for commentators.

DIY Days Gothenburg

In January 18th – 19th, 2014, Crafters University participated in a very friendly and cozy event called DIY Days Gothenburg. It was one of the smaller events out there, but that was perfect for Crafters University’s first time on the showroom floor. The visitors where very friendly as well, and very interested in our site. We also had some mini projects for people to fold, and a Microgolf course.  Here’s a few photos from the event:

We also brought a fun little game called “Microgolf”! It’s like mini golf, but much smaller and uses a ball bearing as a golf ball. It was very popular at this event.

“A gathering for those who create

diy days is coming to Gothenburg January 18th – 19th, 2014.

It is 2 FREE days to learndo & share, followed by a hackathon and game jam at Collaboratory. The theme is Future Cities -Sustainable and Playful Design with focus on Water. Experience talks, workshops, networking, social good, & play.

There will be prototyping sessions for innovations around the theme, a game track with talks about gender roles and games as art, workshops to create art works, innovations, fashion, and much more.
