The Makerbox Lao

EarthTalk
2024-11-23 09:00 - 2024-11-24 16:30 (Asia/Krasnoyarsk) | The Makerbox Lao, The Makerbox Lao, That Luang, Lao People's Democratic Republic
EarthTalk takes us on a tour of our globe, the planet we live on. We’ll start by taking a look at what makes up the ground below our feet with deep dive into Geology. Following on from the depths of the earth, we’ll take a look at the breadth of our planet with a study of Geography. Our third session will deal with Biology, all things living, and include some real hands-on science. The fourth session will deal with Ecology, a look at the many different ecosystems that create the wonderful diversity of our planet. Our fifth session will take a look at how we as humans live on and use our home, and perhaps how we need to become better stewards of the only place that we can call home.

Maker Faire Vientiane 2025
2025-06-06 08:00 - 2025-06-09 17:00 | Vientiane Center, XJ79+249, Khouvieng Road, Vientiane, Vientiane Capital, Lao People's Democratic Republic
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
WHY Makerbox and Maker Faire Vientiane?
In 2025 Makerbox is joining with Maker Faire USA to bring you all the innovation and ideas and projects that we can find in Lao PDR. It’s a first, and it builds on our very successful Makerbox Fair 2023. This year, with the help and experience of Maker Faire, we are joining the GLOBAL COMMUNITY of makers and showcasing Lao to the world.
Join us for the Makerbox Maker Faire Vientiane 2025. Show us your inventions, creations, ideas, because participation is absolutely free. If you’re selected, we will even give you free space at the Makerbox MakerFaire Vientiane 2024 to showcase your project.

Who are we looking for?
At Maker Faire Vientiane, we are looking for those who are able to show us the future that lies just around the corner, the one we still do not know we need today and those who have seen the past and have improved on it; those who know how to present their products/creations/innovations in a simple and effective way to everyone. We want you to show us your project, your innovation, your ideas, your handiwork – items must have been produced within the last 12 months (counting from May 2024).

Muscle Sensors and Brain Sensors - Controlling Prosthetics for Enhanced Mobility
2024-09-08 13:30 - 16:30 | The Makerbox Lao, The Makerbox Lao, That Luang, Lao People's Democratic Republic
The first microcontroller powered muscle sensor controlled prosthetic device.
Makerbox is very proud of our co-founder and in-house Electrical Engineer Konemany Kanlaya who has developed the first ever robotic prosthetic hand in the Lao PDR using biosensor technology (electromyography EMG) and low-cost 3D printing technology.
From his hobby of building small, fun robots on weekends at Makerbox, to a device that can make real change in the lives of thousands of people and society.
Starting out with the simple idea of wanting to create a prosthetic hand, Kone’s project has grown into something truly remarkable with the goal of creating a device that will help the thousands of victims of unexploded ordnance and accidents in Laos – in line with the UNDP’s stated sustainable development goal (SDG-18) of “lives safe from Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).
We support Kone’s work wholeheartedly, and look forward to future iterations of this excellent project.
We would also like to thank several organizations for their kind assistance and support :
Prosthetics and Orthotics Workshop Center, Mitthaphab Hospital’s Department of Neurology, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Laos.
