本文描述了一系列旨在促进社区和制造者之间可持续关系的发明者日活动，以支持基层创新。通过借用黑客马拉松的核心属性，发明者日将社区居民和来自全市各地的制造者聚集在一起。在三个活动中，制作人和社区成员一起了解当地，设计解决当地问题的新想法，并建立原型。我们的证据表明，这些活动创造了使用技术支持社区的热情，同时发展了持续的关系，使社区成员能够继续在活动之外建立他们的经验。我们提出这是一种促进社区创新的新手段。
This paper describes a series of Inventor Days designed to catalyse sustainable relationships between communities and makers to support grassroots innovation. By appropriating core properties of hackathons, the Inventor Days brought together residents in a community and makers from across the city. Over three events, makers and community members worked together to learn about the local area, design novel ideas that addressed local issues and build prototypes. We show evidence that these events created enthusiasm around use of technology to support the community, while developing ongoing relationships that enabled members of the community to continue building on their experiences beyond the events. We propose this as a new means of enabling innovation in communities.
