First Prototype of a Community Repair Mobile Trailer for remote areas and repair services supporting the application of the #ASKotec (Access to Skills and Knowledge - open tech emergency case) and other mobile makerspaces. (currently developed in Kenya)

Introduction

This Step-by-Step Tutorial serves as Open Source instruction for a Proof of Concept Prototype for a Community Repair Mobile (Trailer Edition) for remote areas (currently applied in Kenya) and will provide the option of repair services through the use of the #ASKotec (Access to Skills and Knowledge - open tech emergency case) and other mobile makerspaces/toolkits. (currently developed in Kenya by Adam Abdumalik with support from international community members).


This serves as a stage 1 solution for more variations, modules and adaptations to come as of:


- Solar Power (Soldering, Charging, etc.)

- Solar Electric Mobility

- Scaling production, decentralised and Open Source implementation

- Share your thoughts and comments as we update the documentation
