“…There are several actions and experiments reported in the literature documenting the advantages of introducing AM into training, both for schools [ 33 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ] and for universities [ 36 , 37 , 39 , 79 ], for teachers [ 38 ], national plans [ 69 , 80 ], and even in libraries [ 35 ]. These experiments have shown that, in addition to the disciplines mentioned inherent to manufacturing, participants also develop other nontechnical skills such as teamwork and collaboration, creativity, flexibility vis-à-vis changes, communication skills, handling of changing information, concentration, planning, perseverance, and self-control.…”

The term additive manufacturing (AM) groups together a set of technologies with similar characteristics forming part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. AM is being developed globally, as evidenced by the standards published by and the agreements between the ISO and the ASTM in 2013. The purpose of this paper is to anticipate the main changes that will occur in AM by 2030 as forecast by more than 100 Spanish experts through Delphi prospection performed in 2018. In this way, the areas, aspects, and business models with the greatest probabilities of occurrence are obtained. The need for technical experts with specific knowledge and skills requires changes to current training syllabuses. Such changes will enable students to have the profiles foreseen in these job trends. The encouragement of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) training through the introduction of AM in study plans may be an appropriate alternative. Finally, the consequences of the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the employment market and on jobs, particularly in Spain, are set out and the latest Spanish Research, Development, and Innovation (R&D + I) plans are summarized as the framework for the possible implementation and development of AM.

“…DIY practices have also been explored beyond the developed contexts, with findings highlighting its culturally sensitive aspects. For instance, efforts have been made to integrate the exploration of maker movement with ICT4D agenda with a focus on 3D printing of prostheses or educational models in Palestine [Stickel et al, 2015]. In their critique of the utopian DIY vision for democratizing technology production, Lindtner and colleagues [2016] call for HCI engagement with both the technical innovation and socio-political contexts; their study of the maker movement in China and Taiwan argue for the value of a HCI research agenda towards collective empowerment through DIY.…”

We are surrounded by increasingly complex networks of smart objects, yet our understanding and attachment to them is rather limited. One way to support stronger end users' engagement with such complex technologies is by involving them in the design process and, with the advent of Arduino prototyping platform, even in their making. While DIY practice offers the potential for stronger user engagement with physical artifacts, we know little about end users' DIY practice of making complex electronic technologies and their potential to ensure engagement with such devices. In this paper, we report on interviews with 18 participants from two green communities who built and used an open source DIY energy monitor, with the aim to explore the end users DIY practices of making such complex electronic devices. Findings indicate four key qualities of DIY monitors: transparent modularity, open-endedness, heirloom and disruptiveness, and how they contribute to more meaningful engagement with the DIY monitors, elevating them from the status of unremarkable objects to that of things. We conclude with three implications for design for supporting end user development of complex electronic DIY: designing transparent open hardware technologies, standardizing communication protocols for the current and future DIY of IoT; and deliberately calling for personal investment and labor in the assembling of DIY kits.

“…This is an interesting case, as Palestine is typically not associated with tech entrepreneurship. Furthermore, there are only a couple of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) studies on Palestine (Aal et al 2014, Stickel et al 2015, and their focus is not explicitly on tech entrepreneurship. Palestinian tech entrepreneurs are situated within the politically contested territory of Palestine (primarily the West Bank), which has been occupied by the Israeli government for almost 50 years.…”

In this paper, we examine the fundamental and taken-for-granted infrastructures that make tech entrepreneurship possible. We report from a longitudinal ethnographic study of tech entrepreneurs situated in occupied Palestine. By investigating this polar case of tech entrepreneurship, we identify critical infrastructures which are otherwise invisible and go unnoticed. We propose infrastructural accessibility as a method to identify available and absent infrastructures in concrete trans-local situations. Infrastructural accessibility leads us to identify multiple dimensions of critical infrastructures necessary for the success of tech start-ups. This includes infrastructures related to location, community, funding, digital platforms, politics, and history. Our study shows how these multiple dimensions of infrastructural accessibility shape the everyday practices of tech entrepreneurs. Furthermore, our study reveals how Palestinian tech entrepreneurship is characterized by infrastructural inaccessibility due to missing infrastructures related to mobility, legal frameworks, payment gateways, and mobile Internet. Infrastructural inaccessibility seriously limits tech entrepreneurs' potential to succeed in creating a long-term sustainable tech industry.
