Corporate Social Responsibility

Describe FabLabSG as social responsible citizen with regard to diversity, inclusiveness and sustainability.

As part of that our initial focus is on Enable, so we can describe FabLabSGxE as a sub-chapter rather than the center of the message. This is consistent with FabLabSG mission being to empower makers to making things, not actually being an organisation focused on Enable.

FabLabSG x Enable (FLSGxE)

"There's only the Disabled and the Temporarily-Abled."

What is FabLabSG x Enable

  • Redirecting makers skillset towards Enabling solutions (via Challenges)
  • Instiling Inclusivity in the makers mindset
  • Facilitating CSR of corporate entities for the disabled community

Why it was formed

  • Existing solutions are either too expensive, or too complicated.
  • Currently, there's no for custom solution provider for the disabled community.
  • Existing 'DIY' solutions by individuals or community existed because there's a need to overcome challenges faced by disabled individuals. They usually lack the right technical expertise.
  • While these solutions do improve the situation, its usually just a patch. Having the right expertise would improve existing solution or create new ones.

Target communities and beneficieries. Who have we communicated with.

  • Special Education institution

FabLabSG Challenge

What are Challenges

  • A cycle of processes to Address, Design and Make(Produce) a solution for issues brought up by the disabled communities. *These issues includes various challenges faced by but not limited to the Special Education teachers & students, disabled individuals and their families, and the aging communites.

    What resources are needed to 'overcome' Challenges

  • Expertise in the makers community. Engineers, programmers for more complex challenges.

  • A facilitator to run and manage the Challenge for that cycle.

  • Equipments and materials for the solutions.

  • Funds to support the Challenge Cycle.
