Our Projects
We are eager to take on new challenges. Since the day MakerBay was established, we have been working with makers, community centers and the public in pursuit of creating an impact to the society, addressing environmental and social issues.
CoralBot
Coral Reef Mapping Drone
Supported by Design Trust, MakerBay has been developing the “CoralBot” for mapping and conserving corals.
Recently we visited WWF Hong Kong Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre and organized a workshop, aiming at raising public awareness of the need for coral conservation. With the aid of artificial intelligence, no matter who you are, you can participate and help to conserve corals. Through developing the CoralBot, we are not only showing how we can conserve corals with novelties like AI but also attracting new comers to get involved in improving the bot.
Local Maker Map
There are a lot of developed makers/maker groups, forming a great network altogether. From individual craftsmen to companies and maker space on a larger scale, they are all inseparable parts of the whole maker culture.
We created this map to provide you with a nexus of contents about the local maker culture. As the maker scope will only continue to grow, YOU are also welcome to contribute to this map!
Touch Tung O
We visited Tung-O Ancient Trail, a road that connects Tai O, a traditional fishing village, and Tung Chung, the city that neighbors one of the busiest international airports in the world. We connected with the locals, and by using design thinking and other activities, we came up with solutions to help them improve their quality of life while maintaining their cultural identity.
