Cairo Hackerspace and Eshbook have joined together to go on a road trip to more than 20 cities across Egypt with the Maker Express, a microbus converted into a mobile makerspace.

The goal of our eight-week tour is to bring the maker and coworking movements to unorthodox locales and motivate potential creators to build their own venues of innovation. We’ll be visiting existing creative and educational hubs, big and small: makerspaces, coworking spaces, start-ups, universities, and schools. But we’ll also be on the lookout for the fledgling organizations and lone makers who need resources, support--and most of all, strong community connections--to realize their projects. With our traveling workshops, talks, and training, we want to foster an open, collaborative environment for thinkers across different fields to evolve their ideas together. We want to inspire a culture of technical proficiency, hands-on experimentation, and out-of-the-box thinking, one stop at a time.
All aboard the Maker Express!

The Maker Express is more than a modest microbus. Equipped with educational tools and electronic gadgets, including 3D printers, laser cutters, small robots, simple crafts, and a small library, it is Cairo Hackerspace's mobile makerspace.
