By Rachana Khatri<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The FabLab Nepal<\/a> team is calling for innovative and resourceful professionals from diverse backgrounds to become part of the FabLab advisory committee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes! FabLab Nepal is bringing together an Advisory Committee <\/strong>to include experts and\/or, representatives from relevant FabLab Nepal stakeholders of diverse backgrounds such as Government, Technology, Business, Education, etc. If you are someone who is inspired, fueled, and capacitated to guide resources like \u2018Fablab Nepal\u2019 to another level in Nepal, join the committee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is FabLab Nepal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n FabLab Nepal is a platform, a digital fabrication laboratory in Nepal Communitere<\/a>, (Pulchowk) that enables ideas to be turned into tangible prototypes and products. Nepal Communitere launched FabLab Nepal in January 2021 in partnership with Field Ready<\/a> and with support from invaluable donor partners including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u2019s (MIT) Center for Bits & Atoms<\/a>, Dassault System Solidworks,<\/a> and the Frontier Technologies Livestreaming program of UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office <\/a>(UKAID). FabLab Nepal<\/a> is the FIRST \u2018Humanitarian\u2019 Fab Lab in Nepal with a proactive agenda to engage members of marginalized groups and work with government and donor partners to design innovative solutions for Nepal. We aim to increase the accessibility of digital fabrication technology and fill a critical industrial product development gap for emerging sectors in Nepal such as agriculture, manufacturing, design, packaging, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) by supporting skills building, entrepreneurship, and contributing towards livelihood development for diverse groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being the first FabLab Nepal, we have been providing access to knowledge, tools, and resources which bring ideas from head to hand while empowering the people of Nepal. We\u2019re a collaborative center for innovation, invention, education, and humanitarian outreach and allow users to make almost anything! <\/p>\n\n\n\n For an advisor of our committee, we visualize someone who is ready to bring this unique knowledge, skills, and network we need, to effectively guide this resource with unlimited scope in achieving our vision: Championing \u2018making\u2019 as a means of empowering the people of Nepal regardless of their gender, social status, ability or economic means.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
