Beste Smart-city'ers,
Op dit moment ben ik bezig met het bedenken van een scriptieonderwerp binnen het thema van “Experimenting in the ‘Smart’ City” . Ik studeer Future Planet Studies en Sociale Geografie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Nu kan ik natuurlijk zelf heel hard nadenken, maar waarom niet mijn tijd en energie steken in een bestaand vraagstuk of probleem! Dus ben jij een start-up, kritische denker of gewoon een Amsterdammer met een idee, dan hoor ik het graag! En wellicht probeer ik dan het aankomende jaar een antwoord te vinden op jouw vraagstuk!

Sensemakers Workshop DIY Smart Glasses
During this evening Paul Stefaan Mooij will introduce the DIY Smart Glasses he developed, he is bringing several 'arms'. The PMSG kit lets you swap out those boring old arms from your (sun)glasses for a custom-made PCBA that looks and functions like something a hacker MacGyver would dream up. It fits just like the original—using the same hinges, screws, and probably duct tape somewhere—but now you’ve got space for sensors, connectors, and all the IoT magic you can pack onto your temples.
Join us to experiment, learn and envision new sensors and possibilities.

Sensemakers Workshop Meshtastic, configure your own node (for Amsterdam-wide coverage)
Join us to learn to understand the concept of Meshtastic, an open source, off grid, decentralized, mesh network build to run on affordable low-power devices!
Prepare and configure your own device as to contribute to Amsterdam wide coverage, or just for fun / to chat:-)
The workshop is based on this device: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007752194012.html Of course you may bring a different device, it only might take a little extra effort on your part if the settings are different. We will try to help of course!

Hi Kim, hoe gaat het met het vinden van een goed vraagstuk voor je scriptie? Hebben de ideeen van Tom je geholpen?
Hi Kim, by 'testing with public to influence policy' I mean municipal policies. For example Airbnb & Uber have radically changed our cities before the officials had real understanding how would effect our streets and sidewalks. In the near future cities will have to decide what the values and principles are for all the new Autonomous delivery, 5G, Smart Cameras ie. what are the ethics involved, how can citizens benefit from all this new urban tech?
Hi Tom! Thanks for your comment!
I checked out the website of CITIXl.com and found the idea of using Amsterdam as a testsite for other cities very interesting. So your question of how testing with the public influences good smart city policy really caughts my attention. I do have some questions:
Do you mean testing with the public in the form of living labs?
And what do you mean with policy? Policy for the municipality of cities, living labs themselves or for CITIXL?
Kind regards!
Hi Kim, It’s clear that technology has been flooding our homes / businesses and now spills over into the streets and sidewalks. The question we've been asking at CITIXL.com is: How can testing with the public influence good smart city policy?
