In 2004, MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms "Fab Labs" idea landed in Ghana, specifically at Takoradi Technical institute, the first such facility in Africa. Ashesi Lecturer Yaw Dankwah (DK) Osseo-Asare's brainchild is a logical step further. Hopefully, the project will be sustainable and replicable too. Best luck!

look at the wonders Akans are doing in the academic and business sectors yet some envious ewes erroneously claim the title of being the most ''brilliant'' and to the extent of tagging Akan as shoeshine boys, unschooled, illiterates etc, etc, etc... we've been proving this fact for a while that Akans are more educated than any other tribe in Ghana next to Ga's and northerners yet this Akan hating folks will still not acknowledge these simple facts... moreover the founder of Ashesi is Akan too. hehehehe. keep insulting Akans!

This is a tribal bias. Pls seek peace. There is really no need for some of your comments. I would delete that if I had control.

This fool drops from his mothers anus to destroy it all with tribalistic ethnocentric comments. Your mother's venereal disease has affected your brains. Just travel outside Ghana and no one cares abt your tribe you moron. It is because you have never traveled before and dont realize that your tribe is insignificant on the global scale. Staying in your village like Ghana gives you village mentality, it surely defines who you are-a primitive animal

Great idea but we should rather close the place down and discourage the importation of used laptops

From such simple but inspired initiatives, Ghana can revive Ghanaian entrepreneurship, innovation, ingenuity and wealth.

Kudos to this lecturer from Ashesi, one of the finest institutions of higher learning in our country today. Please, keep building. Agbogbloshie needs dozens of these Maker Spaces. And the rest of Ghana needs thousands.

More grease to your elbow.
