Workshop #DEDBUG by Maurits Fennis of @unbinare at #Constant studio #Brussels 27-28/05/2023 :boost_requested:
In 2019 alone, 83% of electronic waste had been shipped to the global south, with massive environmental consequences. This amount of unprocessed waste is only set to increase, growing from 53.6 Mt of #E-Waste in 2019 to an estimated 110 Mt by 2050. A large percentage of the devices shipped to the global south have very small components, called #SMD (surface-mounted device) components. The #DEDBUG toolkit by Unbinare revives and facilitates free-form, point-to-point construction techniques for small, surface-mount components salvaged from electronic waste, allowing for the construction of circuits without the requirement to design a #PCB beforehand. Each participant will receive a DEDBUG toolkit and basic electronics tools to experiment with at home. The kit will also be donated to workers in the informal sector surrounding waste management sites throughout the Global South.
