The maker community and the associated technologies have so far been male-dominated: only about 20% of makerspace users are women*. As Vienna's largest makerspace, Happylab set itself the goal in May 2022 of getting more women* interested in technology-related making!
Throughout the month, events exclusively by & for women* take place at Happylab: In May 2022, we invite women* to take part in a tour of the open workshop, an exhibition of projects by our female* makers, as well as visit workshops and tutorials by & for women* to try out new things with us and get rid of reservations about digital production technologies.
Auf der Suche nach einer konkreten Projektidee, um mit dem Maken zu beginnen? Bei unserer Recherche für den Female* Maker Month haben wir das Internet auf den Kopf gestellt, um euch mit coolen DIY-Tutorials von Makerinnen* zu inspirieren. Alle Projekte lassen sich wunderbar mit den Maschinen im Happylab umsetzen!
Thursday May 5th, 2022 (5 - 7 pm) // Women* only! Admission is free of charge!
Female* Makers invite you to take a tour of Vienna's largest makerspace! In a guided tour exclusively by & for women*, Happylab, together with female* makers from the community, gives insights into the 900 m2 open innovation workshop in the middle of Vienna.
The opening of the exhibition “EYES ON FEMALE* MAKERS” will take place after the tour on May 5, 2022 starting at 7 pm.
May 5th - 31st, 2022
Opening: Thursday May 5th, 2022 starting at 7 pm. All genders welcome! Admission is free of charge!
In the exhibition EYES ON FEMALE* MAKERS, Happylab will present works by female* makers that have been created in the open innovation workshop in recent years. From experimental fashion out of the 3D printer to laser cutter learning materials to a self-developed radio trainer for flight students.
Under the motto "Hands on with Female* Makers", women*only workshops on various topics will take place at Happylab in May 2022. The program includes welding in the metal workshop, furniture making with wood, do-it-yourself bicycle repair and an electronics workshop with ethical hardware.
No prior knowledge is required to take part in the workshops. Women* only!
Female* Maker Month in May 2022 marks the starting point for more equal opportunities in technology-related making. By making female* makers and their projects more visible as well as organising women*only workshops, we will of course continue to encourage women* to implement their ideas with digital fabrication technologies.
Female* Maker Month is supported by the Vienna Business Agency. A fund of the City of Vienna.
