Amy Sun, founding architect of MIT’s Fab Lab program and 2011 Social Innovation Fellow, explains how the program she created “gives people access to the tools and processes for the modern means of invention.” What that translates to are successful programs that have enabled citizens in Afghanistan and Kenya to ‘make the Internet’ based on the resources they have at their disposal. When you provide people and their ideas with tools and a guiding set of principals, Sun believes, it can unlock capacity and energize a community.
