Tinkerhub Movement

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Started from a 2014 Mozilla Maker Party Kochi that taught 4,000 people, the collective turns ad hoc college meetups into sustained peer-learning hubs that run bootcamps, contribute to open source and incubate products. Concrete outcomes: 75+ campus communities across Kerala, ~13,000 members, 40,000 people engaged and 3,916 projects on GitHub last year. Examples include a DIY EEG board spun into a sleep-headphone startup, students certified to run Fab Labs and contributors landing internships.
