The Symposium was started with Dr Seungwoo Je from the SUSTech School of Design, which participated in funding the event, along with SIGCHI and Seeed.
The residents were guided in the mazes of the HuaQianBei electronic markets by a dream team that includes Jose Angel Torres (Source Parts Inc), Noah Zerkin (Combine Reality), Paul Hamilton (SUSTech) and Terry Given (Tymphany), thanks a lot for sharing your secrets and your passion!
This residency was heavily inspired, and aims to continue the legacy of the followings, in its own way:
- The Previous Research At Scale and Hacking Manufacturing summer schools (+older occurrences).
- The Hacker Trip To China by Noisebridge, the San Francisco Hackerspace.
