阿博布羅西是迦納阿克拉的一個社區，人們去那裡的廢料場開採電子廢物做成可回收的材料。這些都市礦工沒受過正式的訓練，通常透過拆解和重組的過程來自學。設計師和 TED 研究會員 DK 阿西歐阿薩里思考：結合這些自學的電子迷和 STEAM 領域的學生與教授，會如何？結果是個不斷成長的自造者社區。在那裡，大家參與同儕合作、親手實作的教育，能做出想要創造的東西。來進一步了解這個非洲自造者空間如何領導草根層級的循環經濟。

但真正很酷的一點是：

05:23
What's really cool as well is that
there's a transfer of skills and knowledge

92
311549
3809
還有很酷的一點是
能夠跨世代轉移技巧和知識，
05:27
across generations,
93
315382
1430
05:28
from masters to apprentices,
94

從師父傳給學徒，
05:30
but it's done through active learning,
through heuristic learning,
through heuristic learning,
95
318834
3719
但轉移的方式，是透過主動學習，
透過從錯誤中學習，

05:34
learning by doing and by making.
96
322577
1947
從實做中學習。
05:36
And this stands in sharp contrast
97
324548
2217
這方式和學校許多學生的經驗，
05:38
to the experience
of many students in school,
of many students in school,
98
326789
2409
成為很強烈的對比，
05:41
where lecturers lecture,
99

1609
在學校，會有老師授課，
05:42
and students write things down
and memorize them.

100
330855
2705
學生會把老師教的
寫下來、記下來。

05:46
It's boring, but the real problem is
101
334099
2875
很無聊，但真正的問題是，
05:48
this somehow preempts their latent
or their inherent entrepreneurial power.

102
336998

學生潛在或天生的企業家本領
可能就沒得施展。

他們聯手開發了一個平台，
07:46
which they call Spacecraft,
132
454665
2956
被他們稱為「太空船」，
07:49
a hybrid physical and digital

根據使用者的需求而客製的工具包；
08:09
and a trading app.
139
477118
1532
以及交易應用程式。
08:10
We built the app specifically
with the needs of the scrap dealers
with the needs of the scrap dealers
140
478674
3692
首先我們專門針對廢料商人的需求
08:14
in mind first,
141
482390
1421
構建了應用程式，
08:15
because we realized that it was not enough
to arm them with information
to arm them with information
142
483835
4474
因為我們知道
光是提供資訊和改良的技術
給他們是不夠的，
給他們是不夠的，
08:20
and upgraded technology

08:21
if we wanted them to green
their recycling processes;

如果我們想要他們
將回收過程環保化的話，
將回收過程環保化的話，
08:25
they needed incentives.
145
493215
1912
他們會需要獎勵。
08:27
Scrap dealers are always looking
for new scrap and new buyers
for new scrap and new buyers
146
495151
3643
廢料商人總是在找
新的廢料以及新的買主，
新的廢料以及新的買主，
08:30
and what interests them
is finding buyers who will pay more
is finding buyers who will pay more
147
498818
4181
他們感興趣的是找到那些
願意比買焚燒的銅
花更多錢來買乾淨的銅的買家。
花更多錢來買乾淨的銅的買家。
08:35
for clean copper than for burnt.
148
503023
2365
08:38
We realized that in the entire ecosystem,
149
506213
2750
我們發現，在整個生態系統中，
08:40
everyone was searching for something.
150
508987
2469
每個人都在尋找某樣東西。
08:43
Makers are searching for materials,
parts, components, tools, blueprints
parts, components, tools, blueprints
151
511480
6044
自造者在尋找材料、
零件、元件、工具、藍圖，
零件、元件、工具、藍圖，
08:49
to make what it is they want to make.
152
517548
2065
來製造他們想要製造的東西。
08:51
They're also finding a way
to let customers and clientele
to let customers and clientele
153
519962
3635
他們也在找方法來讓客戶及委託人
08:55
find out that they can repair a blender
154
523621
2191
知道他們可以修復攪拌機，
08:57
or fix an iron
155
525836
1470
或修好熨斗，
08:59
or, as we learned yesterday,
to make a french fry machine.
to make a french fry machine.
156
527330
3253
或，我們昨天才知道的，
他們也能製造出薯條機。
他們也能製造出薯條機。
09:03
On the flip side, you find
that there are end users
that there are end users
157
531496
3286
另一方面，有終端使用者
09:06
that are desperately looking for someone
that can make them a french fry machine,
that can make them a french fry machine,
158
534806
3918
非常迫切地想要找人
幫他們製造薯條機，
幫他們製造薯條機，
09:10
and you have scrap dealers who are
looking how they can collect this scrap,
looking how they can collect this scrap,
159
538748
3713
還有廢料商人，他們在想的
是要如何收集這類廢料、
是要如何收集這類廢料、
處理，轉成再製新東西的材料。
09:14
process it, and turn it back
into an input for new making.
into an input for new making.
160
542485
3952
09:18
We tried to untangle
that knot of not knowing
that knot of not knowing
161
546461
3042
我們試著解開那個「不知道」的結，
09:21
to allow people to find what they need
to make what they want to make.
to make what they want to make.
162
549527
3431
讓大家找到他們需要的東西，
來製造他們想要製造的東西。
來製造他們想要製造的東西。
09:24
We prototyped the makerspace
kiosk in Agbogbloshie,

163
552982
3662
我們在阿博布羅西做出了
自造者互動機台亭的原型，
自造者互動機台亭的原型，
09:28
conceived as the opposite of a school:
164
556668
2798
設計的想法和學校相反：
09:31
a portal into experiential
and experimental making

165
559490

它是個通往體驗式
與實驗式製造的入口，
與實驗式製造的入口，
09:35
that connects local and global
166
563348
2077
將地方與全球連結，
09:37
and connects making
with remaking and unmaking.
with remaking and unmaking.
167
565449
3483
結合製造與重新製造和恢復原狀。
09:41
We made a rule that everything
had to be made from scratch
had to be made from scratch
168
569831
3304
我們訂了一條規則，
一切都得要從零開始，
一切都得要從零開始，
09:45
using only materials made in Ghana
169
573159
2407
只能用迦納所產的材料，
09:47
or sourced from the scrapyard.
170
575590
1864
或是來自廢料場的材料。
09:50
The structures essentially are
simple trusses which bolt together.

171
578136
4614
基本上，這個結構是把
簡單的構架拴在一起。

09:54
It takes about two hours to assemble

10:02
we were able to actually
build these standardized parts

我們得以真正在這個
工匠焊工的生態系統中

10:06
within this ecosystem of artisanal welders
175
594306
3344
建造出這些標準化的零件，
10:09
with the precision of one millimeter --
176
597674

精準度達到一毫米——
10:12
of course, using made-in-Agbogbloshie
welding machines,

177
600637
3035
當然，用的是阿博布羅西
製造的焊接機器，
製造的焊接機器，
10:15
as well as for the tools,
178
603696
1443
還有工具，
10:17
which can lock, the toolboxes,
and stack to make workbenches,
and stack to make workbenches,
179
605163
3615
工具箱能上鎖，還能夠

10:20
and again, customized
based on what you want to make.

180
608802
2628
同樣的，也能根據
你想要做什麼來客製化。
你想要做什麼來客製化。
10:23
We've tested the app in Agbogbloshie
181
611827
3052
我們在阿博布羅西
測試了這個應用程式，
測試了這個應用程式，
10:26
and are getting ready to open it up
to other maker ecosystems.
to other maker ecosystems.
182
614903
3496
已經準備好要開放給
其他的自造者生態系統。
其他的自造者生態系統。
10:30
In six months, we'll have finished
three years of testing
three years of testing
183
618826
3689
六個月後，我們
為期三年的自造者互動機台亭
為期三年的自造者互動機台亭
10:34
the makerspace kiosk,
184
622539
1662
就會完成測試，
10:36
which I have to admit, we've subjected
to some pretty horrific abuse.
to some pretty horrific abuse.
185
624225
4097
我得承認，在測試中我們
遇到了一些很可怕的濫用狀況。
遇到了一些很可怕的濫用狀況。
10:40
But it's for a good cause,
186
628346
1929
但這是個很好的事業，
10:42
because based on
the results of that testing,
the results of that testing,
187
630299
2245
因為依據測試的結果，
10:44
we've been able to redesign
an upgraded version of this makerspace.
an upgraded version of this makerspace.
188
632568
5315
我們重新設計和升級了
這個自造者空間，推出新版本。
這個自造者空間，推出新版本。
10:49
If a fab lab is large, expensive,
and fixed in place,
and fixed in place,
189
637907
5619
如果製造實驗室很大、
很昂貴，又固定不動，
很昂貴，又固定不動，
10:55
think of this as the counterpoint:
190
643550
2024
那可以把這個發明想成對比：
10:58
something low-cost,
191
646273
1818
它的成本很低，
11:00
which can be locally manufactured,
192
648828
3163
可以在當地製造，
11:04
which can be expanded
and kitted out incrementally
and kitted out incrementally
193
652015
3595
若自造者需要資源，它還可以擴大，
11:07
as makers acquire resources.
194
655634
2295
漸漸增加變得更齊全。
11:09
You can think of it as a toolshed,
195
657953
2850
你可以把它想成是工具棚，
11:12
where makers can come and check out tools
196
660827
3125
自造者能來這裡看看有什麼工具，
11:15
and take them via handcart
197
663976
2362
再用手推車把工具拿走，
11:18
to wherever they want in the city
to make what it is they want to make.
to make what it is they want to make.
198
666362
3359
拿到城市中任何地方，
去做任何他們想要做的東西。
去做任何他們想要做的東西。
11:21
And moving into the next phase,
we're planning to also add

199
669745
2947
我們要進入下一個階段了，
我們在計畫要加上
我們在計畫要加上

672716
2864
安裝在屋頂上的
電腦數字控制機器人，
電腦數字控制機器人，
11:27
which allow makers to cocreate
together with robots.
together with robots.
201
675604
3777
就能讓自造者和機器人
合作共同進行創造。
合作共同進行創造。
11:31
Ultimately, this is a kit of parts
202
679405
2258
最終，它是個零件的套裝組，
11:33
which can be assembled locally
within the informal sector
within the informal sector
203
681687
3369
可以在當地的
非正式部門內完成組裝，
非正式部門內完成組裝，
11:37
using standardized parts
204
685080

用的是標準化的零件，
11:38
which can be upgraded collectively
through an open-source process.
through an open-source process.
205
686935
3706
這些零件可以透過開放原始碼的
處理程序來一起升級。
處理程序來一起升級。
11:46
In totality, this entire
makerspace system
makerspace system
206
694800
2367
總的來說，這整個自造者空間系統
11:49
tries to do five things:
207
697191
1714
想要做到五件事：
11:50
to enable emerging makers
to gather the resources they need
to gather the resources they need
208
698929
5200
讓新興的自造者能夠
聚集他們需要的資源以及工具，
聚集他們需要的資源以及工具，
11:56
and the tools to make
what they want to make;
what they want to make;
209
704153
2164
來製造他們想要製造的東西；
11:58
to learn by doing and from others;
210
706341
2858
透過實做學習和向他人學習；
12:01
to produce more and better products;
211
709223
2971
生產出更多、更好的產品；
12:04
to be able to trade
to generate steady income;
to generate steady income;
212
712218
2724
能夠買賣，產生出穩定的收入；
12:06
and ultimately, to amplify
not only their reputation as a maker,
not only their reputation as a maker,
213
714966
3837
最終，要來宣揚自造者的名聲
12:10
but their maker potential.
214
718827
1550
以及自造者的潛能。
12:13
Sankofa is one of the most powerful
Adinkra symbols of the Akan peoples

12:17
in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire,
216
725818
1348
其中最強大的一個符號
是 Sankofa，
是 Sankofa，
12:19
and it can be represented as a bird
reaching onto its back to collect an egg,
reaching onto its back to collect an egg,
217
727190
5312
表示圖案是一隻鳥將頭
靠近牠的背以取得一顆蛋，
靠近牠的背以取得一顆蛋，
12:24
a symbol of power.
218
732526
1218
這是力量的符號。
12:27
It translates literally from the Twi
as "return and get it,"
as "return and get it,"
219
735331
3138
字面上直譯為「返回去取得它」，
12:30
and what this means is that if
an individual or a community or a society
an individual or a community or a society
220
738493
4733
意思是，如果個人、社區，或社會
12:35
wants to have a successful future,
they have to draw on the past.
they have to draw on the past.
221
743250
4756
想要有成功的未來，
就得要利用過去。
就得要利用過去。
12:40
To acquire and master
existing ways of doing,

222
748030
3542
要習得並精通現有的做法，
12:43
access the knowledge of their ancestors.
223
751596
2318
取得他們祖先的知識。
12:45
And this is very relevant
224
753938
1215
如果我們想要為現在的非洲
12:47
if we want to think about an inclusive
future for Africa today.
future for Africa today.
225
755177
4386
設想出一個包容的未來，
這點是非常重要的。
這點是非常重要的。
12:51
We have to start from the ground up,
226
759587
2403
我們得要從頭開始，
12:54
mining what already works
for methods and for models,
for methods and for models,
227
762014
4003
開採已知可用的方法和模型，
12:58
and to think about how might we
be able to connect,
be able to connect,
228
766041
4132
並思考我們要如何才能
13:02
in a kind of "both-and,"
not "either-or" paradigm,
not "either-or" paradigm,
229
770197
4112
用「—和—」的範式，
而非「—或—」，
而非「—或—」，
13:06
the innovation capacity
of this growing network
of this growing network
230
774333
3586
來連結這個不斷成長的創新能力網，
13:09
of tech hubs and incubators
across the continent
across the continent
231
777943
3245
因為這網路連結了整片非洲大陸的
科技中心與育成中心。
科技中心與育成中心。
13:13
and to rethink beyond national boundaries
and political boundaries,
and political boundaries,
232
781212
4591
還要重新思考，將思考延伸至
國家界線與政治界線之外，
國家界線與政治界線之外，
13:17
to think about how we can network
innovation in Africa
innovation in Africa
233
785827
4290
來思考我們要如何
在非洲將創新連結成網路，
在非洲將創新連結成網路，
13:22
with the spirit of Sankofa
234
790141
2519
用 Sankofa 的精神，
13:24
and the existing capacity
of makers at the grassroots.
of makers at the grassroots.
235
792684
4444
以及草根層級自造者的既有能力。
13:30
If, in the future, someone tells you
236
798033
1788
如果在未來有人告訴你，
13:31
Agbogbloshie is the largest
e-waste dump in the world,
e-waste dump in the world,
237
799845
3540
阿博布羅西是世界上
最大的電子廢物垃圾場，
最大的電子廢物垃圾場，
13:35
I hope you can correct them
238
803409
2232
我希望你能糾正他們，
13:37
and explain to them that a dump
is a place where you throw things away
is a place where you throw things away
239
805665
4544
向他們解釋，所謂的垃圾場，
是指把不要的東西丟過去之後
是指把不要的東西丟過去之後
13:42
and leave them forever;
240
810233
1368
就會永遠留在那裡。
13:43
a scrapyard is where
you take things apart.
you take things apart.
241
811625
2211
而廢料場則是拆解東西的地方。
13:45
Waste is something
that no longer has any value,
that no longer has any value,
242
813860
3217
廢物是不再有價值的東西，
13:49
whereas scrap is something
that you recover
that you recover
243
817101
2634
而廢料則是可以回收回來
13:51
specifically to use it
to remake something new.
to remake something new.
244
819759
3780
並用來重新製造新東西的。
13:57
Making is a cycle,
245
825523
1407
製造是一個循環，
13:59
and African makerspaces
are already pioneering and leading
are already pioneering and leading
246
827676
5043
而非洲的自造者空間
已經在草根的等級上
已經在草根的等級上
扮演先鋒，領導循環經濟。
14:05
circular economy at the grassroots.
247
833969
2638

Africa today has the youngest population and fastest rate of urbanization on the planet. How can we amplify indigenous innovation continent-wide to accommodate the needs of Africa’s next billion urban dwellers? Collaborating with thousands of young people in West Africa over the past decade, DK Osseo-Asare has pioneered new approaches to design and deliver architecture and inclusive innovation to people living in resource-constrained environments: reframing the micro-architectures of "kiosk culture" as urban infrastructure for resilience; experimenting with "bambots," or bamboo architecture robots; and prototyping off-grid in the Niger Delta an open-source model of hybrid rural/urban development for Africa.
In 2012, Osseo-Asare and Yasmine Abbas launched the Agbogbloshie Makerspace Platform (AMP), a community-based project to empower grassroots makers in Africa and beyond. Co-designed with over a thousand youth in and around Agbogbloshie scrapyard in Accra, Ghana -- infamously mischaracterized as "the world's largest e-waste dump" -- AMP Spacecraft is an open architecture for "crafting space" that links a mobile structure with modular toolsets to help makers make more and better, together. AMP has deployed three spacecraft to date, with the goal of networking a pan-African fleet of maker kiosks that enable youth to reimagine (e-)waste as raw material for building digital futures, recycle better and unlock their creative potential to remake the world.
Osseo-Asare is co-founding principal of Low Design Office (LOWDO), a trans-Atlantic architecture and integrated design studio based in Ghana and Texas. He co-founded the Ashesi Design Lab as Chief Maker and is Assistant Professor of Architecture and Engineering Design at Penn State University, where he runs the Humanitarian Materials Lab (HuMatLab) and serves as Associate Director of Penn State’s Alliance for Education, Science, Engineering and Design with Africa (AESEDA).
