I first heard about @teamaustralia when I read @stephen-somers post about Steemfest meetup in Brisbane. So I decided to show up but I think I was like 1 hour late haha.
I actually felt a little shy to meet anyone new because I thought I would scare people with my pimples😂. But I was curious about the place called 'The Edge' so I went to investigate anyways.
Great Quote at 'The Edge' (Public Innovation and Fabrication Lab)
I was so amazed and blown away with what I found there that I wanted to write a post so everyone globally can benefit. I came up with:
10 Ideas How The Edge Can Help A Steemian Start A Business and Promote The Steem Spirit
1. The Edge Brisbane Can help you with Stationery or Craft business
I met a young couple, who is starting a side business producing custom wedding 'guest gifts' using graphic computers and laser cutters. One of the gifts they were making was custom made jigsaw puzzles with guest names.
Free $5,000 Laser Cutter Anyone Can Use.....Yeah!
2. The Edge Can help with Tech Games Start Up
There is a linux game development PC there for tech developers, programmers, hackers, etc.....all free of charge.
You don't need a PC, Power, or even an office to start developing games.
BUT, you do need to be hardworking and willing to learn how to program to take advantage of all these computers and software.
Trying Out Some Games That Were Already There
3. The Edge Can help with 3D Printing Business
The Edge provides many 3D printers you can use if you want to do Architecture/construction modeling, Research and development, 3D designing, etc. but don't have a 3D printer of your own.
Some of the 3D Printers and Designs Made
3D Printed Bridge Design
4. The Edge Can help with Creating Ethical Clothing
At The Edge you can grow a kind of bacteria known as Kombucha which can be dried and made into clothing.
Instructions on How to Grow Your Own and Examples of What You Can Do With It
5. The Edge has a great view of the river and a relaxing environment. It’s a nice place to do work, study or just relax.
Also a great place to brainstorm innovative ideas with (Steemian) friends. It also has a coffee and snack shop there.
Gorgeous River Side View
6. The Edge helps with Fabrication/Engineering/Hardware Tech/Woodwork
There is Molding, cutting and fabrication equipment there.
This is How You Make a Cool Dragon Egg :) 😄😆
Check Out the Heavy Duty Cutting Equipment, Machinery and Drills...but Always Safety First
7. The Edge can help with Robotic Tech Development
You have to trust me. There were equipment and parts for building robots, I just forgot to take a photo...so here's a robot that I built.
I think once my robot tried to run away from me, but no worries I'm fast :D
8. The Edge also has fast computers and graphics software that can help architects, multimedia designers, digital artist, etc.
This Must Be What It's Like Working In The Silicon Valley (Google), or Apple, or Microsoft
9. The edge has a music studio to help the musically talented.
So if singers like @kodieamos want to record and post on Steemit, but if they do not have any high end recording equipment, come to 'The Edge' and you can record for free!
Sorry the studio was closed at the time so I couldn't take a photo of the inside
10. The Edge has meeting facilities and conference rooms making it a great place for people to meet for discussions like Brisbane STEEMfest Meetup that I sadly missed because I came late. 😭
Meeting and Conference Rooms Available To Everyone
11. The Edge Helps Promote Decentralization (Like Our Beloved Steem Blockchain)
This is what it says:
Access to computer - and anything which might teach you
something about the way the world works - should be unlimited
and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not criteria such as
degrees, age, race, sex, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.
Levy, Steven (2001) Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
I hope you enjoyed reading this. If you think it's important that every city in every nation around the world should have this, then speak up and promote this to your community, city council, state, and national leaders.

Update:
If you can see the great value and benefit of your city getting a facility like this, please consider Re-Steeming this and sharing the idea with others even outside of Steemit.com
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏🙏🙏, & 💖 love ❤💖!
RESPECTS To RE-STEEMERS: @ausbitbank, @feye, @gregory-f, @ligayagardener, @promo-steem, @ryivhnn, @stephen-somers, @strapasynthon, @ymhb Using: Resteem Checker
Thanks for the mention Mate. So sorry the Steemup was last month to coincide with a STEEMfest. The Edge is really cool and I’m glad you took lots of photos, looks like you had fun. This is one of the reasons I choose that space to hold the Steemup. I hope to catch up next time. You’re almost the same age of my son @frobear and sounds like you’ve similar interests.
Hi @stephen-somers,
Hey is so great to see you show up again!
I was wondering when you'll come by and check out what you started....haha :D
I owe you a thanks, if not for you post, I would not have explored all around the whole facility....I went into all corners of that place, even found a back hall where they had old computers and they were willing to give away all but you have to ask nicely :)
old computers you can ask for....cool right?
Yeah...I think I'm almost the same as @frobear, but he's much more creative than me. I just made a castle with a dungeon with a lava around it on minecraft, he build a whole city! Dang he's good :D
You're done so much for me already, I hope you don't mind me asking if you'll consider re-steeming this, who knows maybe someone international will see this post and tell their community leaders. I believe in the butterfly effect (like chaos theory or something), small efforts have big impact. Thanks for considering!
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏, & Love 💖!
I thought I had resteemed but done now.
You had a really good look around and got into some areas we didn’t. Def have to try for a Catchup over the school holidays.
Thank you for Re-Steeming 🙏🙌😊...Respects @stephen-somers!
I'm really impress by how you guys support your team members. I've been interested in joining team Australia, how often do you guys meet-up?
Thats pretty amazing, I had no idea this place existed.
Great post mate - resteeming and I'll vote later to give others more curation rewards :)
Thanks @ausbitbank!
Please wait till you are 100% VP no less...and than max it out when you upvot...haha! Just kidding :D
I really hope decentralized global innovation labs like 'The Edge' becomes the future for everyone, and all cities in the world, I feel privileged to be a teen in Australia!
Hey maybe this is first spoken here on the Steem blockchain :D
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Good job @ausbitbank ....respects🙏🙌 in the way you show support to the younger folks, with delays in upvote and resteeming!
Nice post....hope someday my material gets promoted like this...though that's not worthy enough..I think my SELFISH SIDE IS TAKING ON.ME....SHOULD TAKE A LEAVE
Hi @aaquib11b,
Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment.
If you don't mind taking advice from a teenager....I do have a few mindsets that will help you succeed here on Steemit.
A) Think of an idea or a personal experience that will help someone else or others
B) Write it down and the add 1 or 2 more ideas to that idea
C) Be thankful to everyone who reads, positive or negative (honestly, I am just grateful for you dropping by, even if you don't upvote or resteem my post, I still appreciate you coming.....I really do!)
I hope this will help you succeed, I saw your post and it looks like you have something much-much more valuable that you have not shared!
Wish you all the success here.....don't stop, don't give up. Steem has just gone up 100%, and SBD 700%, you will be glad you stuck around when Steem goes up 10,000% in a few years time.
I'll follow you and be an encouragement to you!
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏 & 💖 love!
Thanks for sharing Josh, Im a Brissie girl (who was kidnapped about 23 years ago and is being held hostage in Sydney. I will have to check this place out next time I'm in town.
Welcome to TeamAustralia!
Ha ha thanks for replying and Up-Voting really appreciate it.
Thanks of your support.
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏 & 💖 love!
Hi @joshua-golbuu,
I really enjoyed reading your newest post. I've visited some tech incubators and hacker's club in San Jose Valley in California, and this really looks like one but only public and has a greater variety of resources.
I see alot of folks here are supporting you heck even resteeming, you're doing a great job! Keep it up young man!
Wow...super thanks for the great sponsor and the encouragement! I've waited for my Steem Power to recharge so I can upvote you higher!
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏, & Love 💖!
Superb post, excellent pictures and plenty of good dialogue to explain. The Edge is a very forward thinking idea for helping develop peoples ideas - I don't know if we have something similar in the UK - but we certainly should!
Thank you for your kind words hope you guys have something similar to this over there in the UK or at least get one soon.
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏 & 💖 love!
Seriously child you thought people would be afraid of your pimples, do you realise most of us were kids once ;D
Wow that space is awesome, bet you're glad you went :O And I'm glad you took photos and turned it into a post!
Haha....yeah, it's emotional up and down with us teens, also if I'm hungry it does not help with the mood :p
Thanks for dropping by @ryivhnn, I really like your logo, cool chinese characters, I'm 1/4 (I think, but I can use chopsticks with both hands...sort of like a kungfu master....hehe, just kidding). I love that baby goat too...very cute ❤.
Yes, glad I went, yes glad I got photos, and yes wish I didn't go so late. Not my fault (excuse), transport was slow.... :D
Thank you 110% for re-steeming it, I really hope it will be like this all over the world some day!
That is a fantastic article you have written! There needs to be more places like that and more youth like you. :)
Thanks for the encouragement it's because of people like you that getting into steemit was easier.
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏 & 💖 love!
G'day Josh.
So all this time I thought "The Edge" was one of the world's best Guitarist's in one of the world's best Band's???
https://www.atu2.com/band/edge/
BTW - I saw them in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium in 2010!!
There is more to "The Edge" than meets the eye.
What a fabulous resource for people to make use of. Anyone who lives near enough, is very lucky to have such a place at hand.
Shame you missed the meet-up though. Hope there's a 'next time'. :)
Hi @ravenruis,
Thanks for dropping by. Yeah the potential of the resources are limitless, and they are upgrading the facility all the time (so I was told).
Alot of people who are good with crafts, innovation, ideas, or even research can benefit from this. I hope there will be one nearby where you live someday!
Hope you will consider re-steeming it and spreading the word so the rest of the world can follow the best ideas and generosity that humanity have to offer.
So glad someone like you came by and visited :)
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏, & Love 💖!
...hope my pimples clear up alot more before the next time..... hehe :D
Good on ya @joshya-golbuu and Brisvegas! I had no idea this existed either lol but did keep telling everyone Queensland was the place to be... :-)
Hahaha..... good call @aussiesteem. Yeah good old Brissie in Qld is great place to live or visit.....especially if someone likes to gamble their Steem away in soon to be Bris-Super-Vegas :D
I am only allowed in the restaurant area, and entry is also ristricted until 7:30pm after that kids have to leave....oh well, I preferring wagering my Steem in the future with SteemPower, and upvoting great talents, and to also spread encouragement instead of letting it sit for interest only :D
Wheww....did you run out of breath reading that last
sentenceparagraph ? hehePeace ✌ & 💖 love!
Keep at it! Love the layout of your post and excellent pictures
Really? Super thanks for that feedback and encouragement @kubbyelizabeth. Maybe you can consider re-steem this and get the word out. I really think we should have this all over. I believe with technology we can end hardship & poverty, starvation, joblessness, and many other social problems!
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
A great place. I have always admired altruists.
HI @cranium, I had to go look up the word altruists, sounds like a +compliment, so humble thank you for recognizing what a wonderful place & example that we have here!
Appreciate you dropping by all the way from Cherkassy, Ukraine! Wow that's really amazing.
I hope someday you will have something like this or even better in every city in Ukraine!
If you can consider Re-steeming this and get the word out, I bet you will add value to everyone who follows you and make a difference for your homeland!
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Thank you for your wishes. I am also very, hopeful.
Yeah me too. Where I was raised in the Micronesian islands, our main problem is joblessness.
There is so many young people, older teen, and single parents that needs job, but it is hard for people who have good ideas to try out their ideas because it cost money to experiment and to develop new products or service.
Something like this would have made a big difference to the nations in the pacific islands.
I hope this will also benefit other countries struggling the same way.
btw. I regularly speak to a few Steemians kids from Serbia and also other eastern European countries, they are really cool!
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
This boy is an absolute soon to be WHALE!
Quality post! Very smart! Presence of originality, informative article, good pictures, keen to detail, sense of humour and most importantly, gratitude right there.
Slow clap.
If you may, please let the team know how happy and thankful I am for the deed they are doing and providing for the community.
Got some great strategy to suggest to my friends who owns businesses here. :)
Oh yeah @feye...please re-steem and get the word out....this kinds of innovation labs needs to be in every city in the Philippines!
Sure does! I'll see what I can do for my colleagues and CEO friends to apply accordingly.
Wow you could be a CEO of a startup then....haha!
Thanks again for the Re-Steem and getting the word out. You're making a difference @feye!
Haha! Been an HR professional of start up companies. Some names for sure you've heard of.
I can only support employees and guide the management. I have no mind like you and the owners to run the operations. ^^
But in my own ways using my passion for recruiting, training, designs, hand crafts, and love for encouraging.. hope to find my place and take part on really making a difference. :)
Nah...I'm a goldfish....haha. Aspiring to be a Bottlenose Dolphin!
Glad you got my message and came early :)
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
I'll bet all my humble SP that you will be one very soon.
Of course! A potential and talented person like you should be scouted. 👀 on you. :)
haha....yeah I feel
stalkedscouted by you already..... just kidding ;PThanks for all your support, every humble SP counts @feye, we're all still minnows trying to add value to Steem and to all our Steemtizens !
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Yeah. My upvotes worth nothing but to me it is something. Forgive what I can give, those worthless is my priceless.
I meant it though it rhymes
It's my response! Really! Urgh. Sigh.
-Miss Zombie XD
That is a great facility. Thanks for sharing it. We have a similar one here in Kansas near where my son goes to college. He uses it extensively. Mostly to make custom built guitars, but also to do some 3d printing. The guitars he makes there now with all the equipment look great compared to the first couple he made in my garage with my old hand tools.
Hi @gregory-f ,
Is this the place your son goes to: https://hammerspacehobby.com/ in Kansas City!
If he can make a post about it, i will definately give 100% upvote support and re-steem!
I hope you will consider resteeming this post so more people especially Steemians outside of the US and Australia will someday push their local leaders and businesses to support these tech workshop and innovation projects.
Young people, who are the future of tomorow will need to innovate more than ever before, learning linear skills is no longer enough, one of the first lessons I learn here in Steemit is that the best lessons I will learn will be after (or perhaps outside) college
Awesome Post: What You Learn After School Or University Matters Most
Thanks again for the great feedback!
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Here is the place he goes to, https://712innovations.wildapricot.org/. It's located in Topeka, KS where he goes to college. I mentioned to him that he should check out your post and maybe do a comparable one for 712 Innovations. Thanks for taking an interest in his work.
Hi @gregory-f,
What a great example of what young people can create with the right innovation support.
I checked out @mark.feuerborn posts, looked up his latest replies & upvoted and I have to say.....you son is very talented!
I love that sounds that guitar makes, have 2...but I don't play it well, I'm more a singer, if my zits ever clears up like in 1000 years time, I might make a recording....haha :D
Thanks again for the feedback and also it's great to see Kansas already has this. In my research, I read the big cities like SF, NY, Chicago, SD, Washington(Oregon), but half are sponsored privately. It's great to see this, still more centralized government should support this, we need to move towards innovation and creative based products and service (and possibly gig economy), and not rely on repetition labor, robots and ai are coming for boring jobs....time to get ready for this new era!
my two guitars....I'm not good at instruments so i just sing along to youtube ;p
I love the idea of these places. We have our first opened in Adelaide recently
Hi @ligayagardener,
It's amazing right? Congrats on Adelaide getting their own tech workshop and innovation center, yeah we're lucky here Ozland, it's the other countries outside US, Australia and some parts of Europe that really needs this so badly! Imagine there are thousands of Elon Musk, Teslas, and Thomas Edison out there waiting to be discovered in 3rd world countries! This is definitely a way to help nurture and find them :)
Thanks for coming over and hanging out. I'm following you and look forward to connecting here on Steemit!
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Hi Joshua. Hurrah for resteems, which is how I found this. I'm gobsmacked that such a place exists! Is it completely free to use or do you pay for resources?
PS: like the list of credits at the end, like scrolling through the credits after a movie! 😆
Hi @minismallholding
Thanks for checking out my post.
To use the 3D printers and lazer cutters is free but you have to bring or buy your own plastics for the printer and bring your own material for the cutting . . . I think.
Thank you again for reading my post.
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏, & Love 💖!
Upvoted and also Following you. I was waiting for my steem power to increase to a certain level before coming back to upvote, thanks for your patience!
Really appreciate you commenting on my post, most people don't take the time to explore but sometimes we just don't have a chance to see different things and great ideas in life...that's why we need to have Steemit and reward people for helping and sharing with others!
Peace ✌, Hope 🙏, & Love 💖!
No problem. I appreciate the reply.
Good luck my friend @joshua-golbuu
Good luck to you @miragenoir did you read the post?
Yes of course
Thanks for reading and also welcome to Steemit, where are you writing from @miragenoir?
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Peace to you
From Morocco
How cool, I have a new friend @miragenoir from Morocco!!
I hope you will consider re-steeming this so all your Moroccan Steemians will someday push your local leaders to support community workshops and innovation space like this!
Peace be with you Brother! :D
Thats pretty amazing 👍👍👍
What's amazing? Thanks for elaborating
You are interesting

STOPHey @joshua-golbuu, I am writing to you and many other people who I have noticed for being very active and interested in humorous/sarcastic posts. I am not writing and begging for following me, but I want to share with you two of my other accounts, @krvsada and @tuzlasada , where I post funny GIF memes on daily basis (5 on each). Since I really want to improve and get amongst the best 'humorous 'steemians’ on this platform, I would love if you could sometimes drop to any of my meme accounts, enjoy in shared content, and possibly (the most appreciated) evaluate my work. I promise that I will be fully engaged with single one of your comments since this is something which inspires me and makes my days better. Furthermore, if you decide to keep up with my account, and if you decide to add my accounts to your steem voter account, I will assure to connect additional 55+ young accounts to automatically upvote your account's (and anyone else's) posts. All of them are my friends and their accounts can not give you lots of 'rewards', but can easier get you to the HOT section and possibly increase your account visits. That would be the smallest thing that I could give as a return for your engagement with you. Please help me to get a rise in this section on this platform. All the best, @keyss.
Please don't get use your bots of 55+ accounts to upvote me. There is a war on bots now, and if people think you are using shill accounts it will not help.
