A journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step. Today, participants also started developing simple prototypes of their equipment. #DIYLabware #OpenLabware #BuildingLabware

During this morning's breakaway session at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop, the teams took turns to share lessons learned, achievements and challenges so far and received feedback and suggestions from peers and facilitators. #BuildingLabware

Meet the teams at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop. From Nangui Abrogoua University in Ivory Coast: Dr Oussou, Dr Goze and Dr N'Dia. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Meet the teams at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop. From @KNUSTKumasi and @UHASGhana: Isaiah, Christopher and Paul. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Meet the teams at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop. From @UHASGhana: Dr Inemesit, Arnold and @ek_orman #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Meet the teams at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop. From @KNUSTKumasi: Richmond, Michael and Nathaniel #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Meet the teams at the @DLabware #OpenLabware workshop. From @UCCGH_Official: Isaac, Silas and Edward. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Finally, @v_kumbol led a session on basic programming. The teams then developed and presented pseudocode for an automated titration system. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

On Day 4, our participants learned how to transfer their circuits from breadboards to perf boards and to solder components. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

After the introductions, it was all hands-on as the participants built simple circuits to practise what had been learnt. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware #OpenLabwareGh

Day 2 of the #DIYLabware workshop is over. Today our participants were taken through basic electronics and Arduino by the Project Lead @v_kumbol and @harryakligoh from the @hivebiolab. #BuildingLabware #OpenLabwareGh

@harryakligoh our lead and a researcher at @hivebiolab and @openbioeconomy introducing participants at @DLabware to open source tools like microcontrollers and single board computers like @RapsberryPi_f to #buildinglabware for biology research and education.

@hivebiolab and @KumasiHive over the past two days have joined @DLabware in @UHASGhana to train 18 African scientists and researchers coming from 5 universities in Ghana and Burkina Faso to build #opensciencehardware #OpenLabWareGh #BuildingLabware #Biomakerchallenge

Thanks to @MozillaScience and @HelmsleyTrust for funding. My awesome co-organisers @Pharm_Benneh, @adelmensah4u, @Pharm_jjato and @harryakligoh. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware

Yesterday, the @DLabware #OpenLabware Workshop started at @SOP_UHAS. Over the next two 2 weeks, we will train 18 scientists to build their own lab equipment. #DIYLabware #BuildingLabware @TReNDinAfrica @KumasiHive @hivebiolab @AfricaOSH @GOSHCommunity

The #DIYLabware workshop kicked off today. Over the next 2 weeks, 18 participants from five institutions in Ghana and Ivory Coast will receive training in #BuildingLabware. @TReNDinAfrica @hivebiolab @KumasiHive #OpenLabwareGh

We join @DLabware in @UHASGhana at the @SOP_UHAS to train 20 Ghanaian scientists on #buildinglabware using the #biomakerchallenge approach.

Today, I joined colleagues at @SOP_UHAS as part of the @DLabware project to train university lecturers in #BuildingLabware #Biomakerchallenge
