An open source maker lab being built in the Complexo do Alemão in Rio de Janeiro.
Wikihouse Rio, a winner of the TED Prize 2012, is a project to build an open source maker lab in the Complexo do Alemão favela in Rio de Janeiro. The goal is to help young people tap into their potential and share their skills with others in Brazil and around the world as part of the Wikihouse network and to be part of the foundations of the Brazil’s maker movement.
A mission to explore how a creative, collaborative and networked economy is coalescing to help Brazil leap into the 21st century.
This new economy could lay the foundations of a new era of development for Brazil helping to overcome traditional innovation and productivity bottlenecks. CREATEBRAZIL will explore the contours of this world, from its new institutional underpinnings to the work of pioneers across the country, connecting a Brazilian experience with an emerging global realignment of what a type of productivity that is fit for the 21st century could come to look like.
