Cyprus: Municipalities as makerspaces for disadvantaged groups

On the 3rd June 2022, CIP facilitated a makerspace event in the municipality of Larnaca (Cyprus) whereby underrepresented youth communities were re-engaged with technologies of

fabrication for Digital Action. The twenty-three participants received training and instructions on the use of Arduino microcontrollers and their application in the context of digital action. As a result, the participants had the opportunity in practising skills gained to create a remote-controlled door lock, a pseudo-theremin with a  light sensor and a smart cooling fan.
