A community and Wheel
Thing Makers (WTM) visit was held in 2 December 2017. First, the founders of
WTM gave an informative briefing on the organization and their aim of creating
a knowledge exchange platform and makers base for creativity, applied
technology and social innovation. Their focus is on the creation of self-driven
and power-assisted devices. By taking the initiative to connect neighbors
within the makers community, and disseminating and sharing knowledge of bike
creations, they hope to encourage more people to dedicate themselves to
creating innovative ideas for society and improving lives.
A guided tour in To Kwa Wan and the ex-Cattle Depot was conducted after the
talk by an experienced founder of WTM. Our members learned many stories about
the traditional local shops and stores featured in the tour. This tour was definitely
inspiring and gave members a new understanding of society in Hong Kong and To
Kwa Wan.
