  1. TTI REPORT ON THE GHANA FAB LAB

  2. The vision of the Institute • The trainees at TTI acquire vocational skills and qualifications that meet the changing needs of the labour market which: -are consistent with the Ghana Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS) -contributes to Private Sector Development.

  3. Mission of TTI • TTI strives to be second to none in the production of middle-level manpower for industry and self-employment. • THE FAB LAB: Personal fabrication for local entrepreneurial opportunities. • The Fab Lab in Ghana was a year old in July 2005. Before the establishment of the fab lab little did we understand what it really meant, what to do and where to go. • Nevertheless, today we have made some remarkable progress.

  4. GOAL • Our goal is to identify community problems and find solutions to them; e.g. to convert the abundant renewable energy such as solar and wind to power machines and mechanize our agriculture and local art and craft industry.

  11. PROJECTS • The Fab-lab has initiated some projects which we hope to make into businesses. • Among these are the Fufu pounder which will be used to prepare the most common dish in every Ghanaian home. • Secondly, fabricating a local television antenna, which is very costly. • We are also working on a refrigeration project using the vortex tube which will be installed in cargo trucks carrying perishable goods from the hinterland to the urban areas.

  17. CONCLUSION • In conclusion we will like to thank the organizers of this workshop and once again our sponsors; the Center for Bits and Atoms of Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their support in diverse ways and all participants for your kind attention.
