Expanding the maker movement to Cairo, Egypt

I enjoyed meeting Bilal Ghalib at the Detroit Maker Faire this year. He told me about his plan to establish hackerspaces in Africa. Now he has a Kickstarter project to kick it off. A great idea.

We want to organize a fully immersive three-day Maker/Hacker space at Maker Fair Africa in Cairo, Egypt, but we need your support to heat the soldering irons and power the circuits! Imagine a place that integrates art, science, and technology into a great startup culture; open to all curious humans of all skill levels and all ages; and supported by Egypt's finest makers. Our goal is to establish a full-time Maker/Hackerspace in Cairo -- and more throughout Africa!
