WeMake contributed with its expertise, still ongoing, connected to the area of care and derived by the steady commitment to the project opencare.
We supported the identification of needs, facilitating the definition of challenges and providing tools and methodologies connected to collaborative design in an open design and digital fabrication perspective.
