We need your help! Before February 2025, we seek to create the space necessary to secure the tools to promote the vision of a greener Monteverde fueled by innovation, creativity inspired in nature.
Together we can empower a more resilient Monteverde, creating a template for more communities to follow and share knowledge with.
LINC Monteverde seeks to inspire change and resilience by bringing together tech and nature; getting inspired in natural processes and fueling innovation by the collaborative work of The Monteverde Institute and our allies.
There is a need for a space to house some really cool and big machinery that will allow for some really cool projects to be tested and developed.
Why donate?
This project, in partnership with the municipality of Monteverde, needs your help to be developed and maintained. The resources gathered will be used in first place to create the physical space where some of the bigger, louder machinery will be housed as a workshop near the campus. We seek funding to expand our spaces so we can host people and experts in a way that does not interfere with other operations while being suitable for creation and expansion of the mind.
What is a LINC?
Laboratorio de Innovación Comunitaria
Community Innovation Laboratories (LINC) are open and creative spaces that provide a stimulating and collaborative environment for developing new solutions to community needs. Their goal is to be a catalyst for generating innovation in communities, promoting intersectoral articulation, developing local capacities and skills, and creating practical and sustainable long-term solutions. These laboratories incorporate elements of robotics, cybersecurity, programming, and big data analysis, providing users with tools that enhance their employability. (MICITT).
This place will host tech like 3D printers, design intended computers, drones, sensors, industrial sewing machines, a laser cuter, a CNC router as well as manual machines to brin to life any idea the community might want to explore and develop.
