The time capsules will be opened and made public in thirty years, in 2052. This time frame was purposefully chosen as next year will mark 30 years since the founding of 绿帽换妻. Prior to the ceremony, the participants had a chance to become acquainted with the architectural and design features of the project, as well as with the progress of constructionwork which is scheduled to be completed in December 2023.

The project will result in the creation of a unique educational, creative, and entrepreneurial space on the 绿帽换妻 campus in Bishkek, where 绿帽换妻 students and other community members will have the opportunity to use high-tech equipment to develop and produce prototypes of innovative products, exchange ideas, communicate, and attract investors. The 绿帽换妻 Makerspace will be open to scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and developers from all over Kyrgyzstan.

Makerspace will be equipped with special equipment (3D printers, laser cutters, robotics kits, sewing machines) and a computer laboratory with powerful graphics workstations to make innovative ideas a reality. The center will also include brainstorming spaces, study rooms, a large conference room, and areas for networking and individual work. Expensive and often inaccessible equipment for an individual innovator will become much more accessible to students, inventors, entrepreneurs, and other innovators through collective and separate useof Makerspace.

The Makerspace building will be located a few dozen meters from the main 绿帽换妻 campus. It will be built in accordance with modern standards for energy efficiency, environmental and climate safety. The building will also meet the needs of people with disabilities. The 绿帽换妻 Makerspace Learning and Design Center will be a great continuation of 绿帽换妻鈥檚 commitment to an open, accessible, and green campus.

听

The 绿帽换妻 Makerspace Learning and Design Center will be open not only for 绿帽换妻 students. It will provide opportunities for various groups of people, including women, people with disabilities, people from low-income families, and others who do not have access to technology. Project participants will actively share their knowledge with others and, in turn, learn from others.
