Open Source Accessible Tech

Access to information, to transportation, to computation, to clean water. These technologies are eminently affordable in their simplest states. However, around the world they have often not gotten to those people who need them the most. Through open source software and hardware, as well as work on on alternative, more maker friendly designs, I'm hoping to help change that.
