Ross Atkin
Ross stayed with us for just a few nights! Also, he was an exceptional resident who had already been working out the details of his community service, and had everything prepared and planned as the main purpose of his trip. We offer a free residency room to makers willing to help out the local community, usually their service is in tandem with their personal goals but here they were one and the same!
From Ross’s website:
I am a designer and engineer based in Hackney, East London. I am interested in older and disabled people, digital technology and public space ad work on projects that combine at least two of these areas.

Workshop Insights
These two girls created everything with the help of their parents. A funny bit is that the girls and the parents were ALL not focused on engineering or anything technical. They wanted to Use technology for their project, but weren’t interested in learning all the details. This is FANTASTIC!
“Making”, EdTech, Design Thinking – all of these things seem to be focused on STEM careers but I feel they are actually not. Using technology doesn’t mean that you love engineering. Keep that in mind while building your own fashion tech projects!
