I first heard about @teamaustralia when I read @stephen-somers post about Steemfest meetup in Brisbane. So I decided to show up but I think I was like 1 hour late haha.
I actually felt a little shy to meet anyone new because I thought I would scare people with my pimples😂. But I was curious about the place called 'The Edge' so I went to investigate anyways.
Great Quote at 'The Edge' (Public Innovation and Fabrication Lab)
I was so amazed and blown away with what I found there that I wanted to write a post so everyone globally can benefit. I came up with:
10 Ideas How The Edge Can Help A Steemian Start A Business and Promote The Steem Spirit
1. The Edge Brisbane Can help you with Stationery or Craft business
I met a young couple, who is starting a side business producing custom wedding 'guest gifts' using graphic computers and laser cutters. One of the gifts they were making was custom made jigsaw puzzles with guest names.
Free $5,000 Laser Cutter Anyone Can Use.....Yeah!
2. The Edge Can help with Tech Games Start Up
There is a linux game development PC there for tech developers, programmers, hackers, etc.....all free of charge.
You don't need a PC, Power, or even an office to start developing games.
BUT, you do need to be hardworking and willing to learn how to program to take advantage of all these computers and software.
Trying Out Some Games That Were Already There
3. The Edge Can help with 3D Printing Business
The Edge provides many 3D printers you can use if you want to do Architecture/construction modeling, Research and development, 3D designing, etc. but don't have a 3D printer of your own.
Some of the 3D Printers and Designs Made
3D Printed Bridge Design
4. The Edge Can help with Creating Ethical Clothing
At The Edge you can grow a kind of bacteria known as Kombucha which can be dried and made into clothing.
Instructions on How to Grow Your Own and Examples of What You Can Do With It
5. The Edge has a great view of the river and a relaxing environment. It’s a nice place to do work, study or just relax.
Also a great place to brainstorm innovative ideas with (Steemian) friends. It also has a coffee and snack shop there.
Gorgeous River Side View
6. The Edge helps with Fabrication/Engineering/Hardware Tech/Woodwork
There is Molding, cutting and fabrication equipment there.
This is How You Make a Cool Dragon Egg :) 😄😆
Check Out the Heavy Duty Cutting Equipment, Machinery and Drills...but Always Safety First
7. The Edge can help with Robotic Tech Development
You have to trust me. There were equipment and parts for building robots, I just forgot to take a photo...so here's a robot that I built.
I think once my robot tried to run away from me, but no worries I'm fast :D
8. The Edge also has fast computers and graphics software that can help architects, multimedia designers, digital artist, etc.
This Must Be What It's Like Working In The Silicon Valley (Google), or Apple, or Microsoft
9. The edge has a music studio to help the musically talented.
So if singers like @kodieamos want to record and post on Steemit, but if they do not have any high end recording equipment, come to 'The Edge' and you can record for free!
Sorry the studio was closed at the time so I couldn't take a photo of the inside
10. The Edge has meeting facilities and conference rooms making it a great place for people to meet for discussions like Brisbane STEEMfest Meetup that I sadly missed because I came late. 😭
Meeting and Conference Rooms Available To Everyone
11. The Edge Helps Promote Decentralization (Like Our Beloved Steem Blockchain)
This is what it says:
Access to computer - and anything which might teach you
something about the way the world works - should be unlimited
and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not criteria such as
degrees, age, race, sex, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.
Levy, Steven (2001) Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
I hope you enjoyed reading this. If you think it's important that every city in every nation around the world should have this, then speak up and promote this to your community, city council, state, and national leaders.
