Fab Island Challenge 2022 Winners
Presenting the Winners of the 2022 Edition, Held at the Bali Fab Fest.
The Fab Island Challenge was a key initiative of the Bali Fab Fest from October 12 to 22, 2022.
The Challenge brought together local and global experts, enthusiasts, leaders, and other practitioners of design, making, digital fabrication, and activism from 21 countries into 10 teams that collaboratively worked on some of Bali’s most pressing issues around sustainability and life systems.
Kopernik and the Plastic Exchange were selected as the winners of the Challenge.
The first team identified two agricultural processes that require automation in order to boost efficiency, regenerative efficacy, and resilience. One challenge looked at sorting raw harvested coffee and the other, keeping weeds from cocoa plantations.
While the second team engineered and fabricated composting hole covers and a mechanism that holds transports, and disposes of compost materials with ease.
Cesar Jung-Harada and the team received a special mention.
Finally, IDEP Foundation received an award from the Helium Foundation.
Special thanks go to all participants in the initiative, who for 10 days worked together to achieve the goals set by the Fab Island Challenge 2022, adding value to the passing global frameworks and the remaining local contexts.
We look forward to the next Challenge. In the meantime, learn about the work of the teams here 👈
