There’s been a tremendous amount of activity at AssentWorks since it opened its doors in downtown Winnipeg just a couple of years ago.
The product prototyping and public fabrication workshop in the Exchange District, is one of the most exciting and innovative makerspaces in the country.
Robert Elms was the original Chairman of the AssentWorks Members Council. Along with continuing to serve on the Members Council, he is responsible for community outreach and tours of AssentWorks.
Robert Elms was recently the subject of a feature interview on the CKUW 95.9 FM radio show, People of Interest.
I am Julien Cooper. Let's talk electronics.
I advocate strongly in the sharing of existing resources such as electronic devices, for both personal and citizen journalistic uses. I call it 'Useful recycling we can use again' as in goods not broken down and then re-manufactured.
I also offer free of charge the simple repairs and returns of electronics and free collections of electronics to re-purpose for new users. I hope one day we will have a fully established technical repair shop available to create an inner-city repair and exchange shop which the public can use as a makerspace or to receive or offer services in, which can include designing new inventions with or without peer help and having a public trade-in or exchange depot.
