Zelf Bestek maken voor PI-Party…

Tot as dinsdagavond 3 december kan er op marktplaats geboden worden op de laatste CHOCOPI, bedacht en gemaakt door Hans Wisbrun in het FabLab in Amsterdam. De choco-“PI op marktplaats”:http://www.marktplaats.nl/index.php?url=http%3A//diversen.marktplaats.nl/sinterklaas/210001824-de-laatste-chocopi-opbrengst-naar-wereldwiskundefonds.html"http://www.manfredspaargaren.nl/">Confiserie Manfred Spaargaren. Opbrengsten gaan naar het WereldWiskundeFonds van de Nederlandse Vereniging van Wiskundeleraren. Dat fonds ondersteunt het wiskundeonderwijs in de Derde wereld. Van de inmiddels 32 gerealiseerde FabLab’s in de wereld staan de meeste in de 3e wereld…

The first Dutch project made in a Dutch FabLab was an Arabic chocolate letter made by Bernardo in the FabLab of the El Hema
exhibition in december 2007. Now, december 2008; untill the 3rd of december 23:59 YOU can bid on marktplaats for the last CHOCOPI prototyped by Hans Wisbrun in the FabLab in Amsterdam. The money will go to WWF (Wereld Wiskunde Fonds). The fund supports math education in 3rd world countries. The proces of making a chocolate letter in the form of PI has been invented and described by Hans Wisbrun on the amsterdam.fablab.nl site. Also an article was published in the Dutch magazine for math teachers called Euclides. The Dutch article speaks about the potential of FabLab’s at school. In the Netherlands in Amsterdam the NOVA College High School is prototyping a FabLab as we speak. Also a Belgian version of the article is to be published soon.

The PI-project is (almost) finished. The MIT863 2008 class came this week out with molding and casting. I like this one the best: Pott’s cutlery on the modela. Last years MIT’s class on How to make (almost) anything came out with a 3D PASTA printer? Food and Fab is a great combination if you ask me.
