The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects, connect with others, and make an impact on the world. One of these early places was a blog Zeroprestige, which was an open source hardware experiment for kitesurfing. Here they documented their hand-sewn kites, plywood boards, and other general mayhem that happens when PhDs and high winds collide.
As a result of freely sharing our work, we met a ton of great people, received great opportunities, and were smacked in the face with the need for a web-based documentation system.
Instructables became that documentation system in 2005, as an in-house project of Squid Labs. When they weren't solving interesting problems like solar panels for driveways, efficiently harnessing human power, or strain sensing ropes, you could find them sharing Instructables from the workshop. From cooking to 3d printing, to making just about anything fly, Instructables became the recipient of countless hours of tinkering, soldering, stitching, frying, and fun, making just about anything.
Instructables was officially spun out of Squid Labs in the summer of 2006, and has gone on to grow from a modest hundreds of projects to over one hundred thousand. The community that now calls the site home, is an amazing mix of wonder from around the world. Every day we continue to be amazed by the imagination, curiosity, and simple awesomeness of everyone who shares their creations with us on Instructables. (http://www.instructables.com/about/)
Description
Es una comunidad en línea donde se comparten creaciones que de manera sencilla y pedagógica, en la cual se muestran paso a paso los procesos para la construcción de una gran variedad de invenciones que van desde recetas de cocina, objetos voladores hasta impresiones 3-D, todas ellas propuestas por el público en general.
La idea surgió como un proyecto casero de laboratorio de Squid Labs por Eric Wilhem y Saul Griffith en el 2005; se lanzó al público creciendo de cientos a miles de creaciones compartidas en el 2006.
Instructables brinda un espacio en el que la creatividad puede ser compartida a un nivel no formal, no comercial, con el fin de hacer un contenedor de ideas frescas que el público en general puede llevar a cabo, orientando a los usuarios en el proceso “hágalo usted mismo”.
Los procesos pueden compartirse mediante fotos, videos o palabras; en el sitio puede encontrarse la asesoría para aprender a hacer la documentación de dichos procesos, provocando a las personas a buscar algún conocimiento sujeto a a ser compartido.
El sitio alberga categorías generales para mostrar procesos de comida, juego, taller, tecnología, vivienda, y exteriores, donde se pueden encontrar proyectos de carpintería, construcción de lámparas, arduinos, tutoriales de diseño de imágenes, juguetes, instrumentos musicales, objetos para campamento o playa.
La página publica continuamente concursos a los que los visitantes pueden inscribirse, los ganadores son elegidos mediante votaciones de los usuarios y obtiene diferentes premios dados por patrocinadores. Los usuarios pueden comunicarse a través de los grupos y foros organizados por temas de interés común como niños, medio ambiente, mascotas, fotografía entre otros.
