MAKERVILLA 2.0 is a 4-day creative learning retreat designed for local and international maker educators to gather under one roof for a time of learning, dreaming, hacking and sharing of ideas.Ever wonder what can happen when a group of diverse and interesting people come together to learn, dream, hack and share ideas about making? That was the premise of the Makervilla project that we had back when the nascent maker movement in Southeast Asia got started in 2014. Out of pure curiosity as well as inspired by Dangerous Prototype's Shenzhen Hackercamp, we decided to organize the first Makervilla in Georgetown Penang, Malaysia from 20 to 22 August 2014 which happen to be in conjunction with the annual Georgetown Festival. At that time, the term 'maker' was first being introduced and celebrated as a part of creative economy lexicon in the little 'Silicon' island. It was also the first attempt to introduce 'technological making' in the form of 3D printing, PCB making and exploring paper circuits. We had a good mix of local and international participants from Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia and even all the way from China. MAKERVILLA 2.0 is specially organized to address the needs of educators who are involved with maker education. Whether it is the need for peer support or understanding how to develop curriculum ideas, MAKERVILLA 2.0 will be able to facilitate the formation of learning network, professional learning community and special interest groups. MAKERVILLA 2.0 is organized by Onemaker Group Singapore in collaboration with Ruang Kreasi Indonesia.Five reasons why you should attendUnconference-style (BarCamp meets Burning Man). Unlike usual conferences where participants have to sit through a series of talks, everyone gets to co-curate their own learning experience at MAKERVILLA 2.0. Everyone gets to play a part, everyone get to chip in.'Catalyst'-driven workshops. Instead of providing direct instructions or producing 'cookie-cutter' solutions, MAKERVILLA 2.0 challenges every participant to exercise raw creativity to produce dissimilar solutions from one another. Do not be afraid to try something you have never done before.Failure is to be expected but it's ok. Rather than avoiding failure, participants will learn to confront it head on. MAKERVILLA 2.0 will be paced in a fast and furious manner and some plans may fall flat or go haywire. Nevertheless everyone gets to learn and be better from it.Standing on shoulders of giants. Instead of having 'scholarly experts' to tell us what (or what not) to do, we can actually learn better from experience practitioners/makers who have been through the maker journey themselves; they are our special guest mentors who will be dropping in from time to time to share and offer their view based on their own practical experience.Crowdsourcing collective brilliance. To sum up all the wonderful experience gained throughout the retreat, we will crowdsource written contribution from all participants in the form of essays, step-by-step tutorials, some form of written and/or art work even videos; to be compiled and made into an e-book. The collection can be distributed online or even to be translated into different languages and be used for future reference.Accomodation Alinson Boutique Residence is your clean and beautiful home away from home.
