AGENDA
1. e-NABLE: Past, Present, Future (Keynote)
10:00-10:30am EST
Speaker:
@Jon Schull | jschull@gmail.com
co-Founder of e-NABLE.
In past lives:
- Professor of Biological Psychology
- Entrepreneur (Digital Goods, Digital Right Management, 18 patents)

2. Chapter Takeaways: Marymount University (Keynote)
10:30-11:30am EST
Speaker:
@Eric Bubar | ebubar@gmail.com
Eric Bubar is the Associate Professor of Engineering at Marymount University. He runs unique programs in Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering that provide students with the skills to make an impact on the world using "low resource" engineering tools to create assistive technologies that are used throughout the world. Through a unique blend of 3D printing, hobbyist microcontroller electronics and virtual reality development, Dr Bubar's students brainstorm solutions to diverse problems ranging from retrofitting Barbie Dream Cars into wheelchairs to creating virtual reality games to make training for use of myoelectric prostheses fun an exciting. Most recently, Dr Bubar has teamed with Dr Kyle Reese of Recon BioTECH to develop a robust curricular suite of laboratory materials to democratize bioprinting for the masses.
Details of these projects (and more!) can be found on the web at https://sites.google.com/view/solve3d/projects. Prospective students can reach Dr Bubar at ebubar@marymount.edu for more information on how they can join in on these diverse range of engineering projects!

5. Brandeis MakerLab Tour
1:00-2:00pm EST
Speaker:
Ian Roy | ianroy@brandeis.edu
Ian Roy is the Director for Research Technology and Innovation in Brandeis University's Library. He is also the Founding Head of the Brandeis MakerLab and an Adjunct Professor at the Brandeis International Business School - and a Lecturer in the Anthropology Department.
His group Research Technology and Innovation manages the 3 public Makerspaces in the Brandeis Library: The MakerLab, The Automation Lab, and the Digital Humanities Lab. His team works with researchers to overcome the technological hurdles they encounter in their workflows, top to bottom, and they constantly run local pilots in new technologies to address their needs. Their work touches on desktop/laptop/server break-fix, instrument machine support, digital forensics and security tools, institutional storage of Big Data, Cloud collaboration and backup in a Big Data context, and many of the new toolsets in the Maker community, including support of touch and gesture inputs, multiple displays, VR head mounted displays, Digital Fabrication (3D printing, Lasercutting, CNC), 3D scanning, robotics, drones, and embedded systems (Raspberry Pi, Arduino).
Ian and his team specialize in not only the technical aspects, but also the policy and political implications of implementing emerging technologies on campus. Ian was the project lead in developing both the Research Technology department and the MakerLab at Brandeis. He started at Brandeis in a staff role in 2012.

9. e-NABLE TECH: Building Animal Prosthetics
3:30-3:45pm EST
Speaker: @Alejandra Sainz with the @Enable Tech team
Technológico de Monterrey, Guadalajara México
Enable Tech campus GDA started with the help from professor Santiago de Colsa who gained two 3D printers as a prize in an entrepreneurship contest in 2015.
Santiago decided to look for a project about Computer design and 3D printing for students to use and profit on the printers. On their way to find the project, they came across the open source designs of Enabling the future, where they found not only a way to implement their knowledge but help people along the way.
Knowing the unfortunate situation in Mexico, where the biomechanics field hasn't developed yet and buying a prosthesis is quite expensive, they aim to raise funds in order to pay for the prosthesis they print and assemble, so they can give them to recipients for free.
What began as a student group has developed more seriously over time. In 2021 they became a chapter and opened their doors to external recipients. They would like to start working on instrumented designs and lower member prosthesis. Currently, they are working on finger and dog prosthesis.
10. Po Paraguay Chapter Introduction and Q&A
3:45-4:00pm EST
Speaker:
Eric Dijkuis | edijkhuis@behmak.com.py
In 2014, as 3D printing technologies were becoming popular in Paraguay, a group of three university students studying medicine and engineering joined the e-NABLE Google+ community during the early days when it still had less than 100 people. The Po Paraguay chapter evolved from there.
11. Virtual Networking Rooms
4:00-5:00pm EST
Speakers:
- @Chinwe Appio-Riley and @Arinze Appio-Riley
Moderated ‘Previous cases and challenges finding recipients.’- @Ben Rubin
Moderated ‘Cross-chapter collaboration’- @Jon Schull
Moderated ‘Establishing and running a university chapter (fundraising techniques)’
12. Continuing Connections and Collaboration
