Good in the hack: Kiosk has technology sewn up

20 : 09 : 2011 Technology : Rough Trade East : Do It Yourself

London – Technology education organisation Technology Will Save Us has teamed up with east London record shop Rough Trade East to create a kiosk called Haberdashery East that teaches people about technology.

‘Technology is so ubiquitous, yet we have such little understanding of how it works,’ says Technology Will Save Us co-founder Bethany Koby. ‘We thought that Rough Trade would make a good partner as it has a DIY ethos and represents a dynamic part of the music industry.’

The kiosk teaches visitors to make their own devices, by providing basic components to create them. For more about the ethos of Technology Will Save Us, read our Inform interview with co-founder Daniel Hirschmann.
