Our interests span over a wide range of subjects related to technology appropiation, artistic and technological practices, technology in education, technology recycling, among others...
EscueLab is beeing implemented in a 500m2 space in the center of Lima.
The planned activities of EscueLab include conference hosting, open workshops, project incubation, and a creators-in-residence program.
The infrastructure provided by EscueLab for those activities includes:
- three rooms for conference hosting,
- a hardware hack lab and warehouse,
- one PC lab, for programming workshops
- communications lab for video documentation of activities.
- dorms, kitchen and ateliers for up to eight creators in residence.
about our interest in XO EscueLab - Lima Centro is interested in becoming an XO repair center / volunteering hub. Not as part of a business model, but because it´s part of a necessary mission: rescate XO
Getting a small stock of XO machines to be refurbished could be an excellent start for devising our methodology.
