The Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts proposes a model for community-based innovation that involves assessing local needs and leveraging technology and arts for sustainable solutions. Examples such as Open Source Ecology and Barefoot College illustrate successful application of these principles to empower rural communities. The approach emphasizes collaboration, open-source resources, and community involvement to foster sustainable development and innovation.

converging our yesterday, now & future
Proposed Steps & Structure

2. What is Community-based Innovation?
Very simply, invention + innovation to solve issues in the community. Other
drives for invention or innovation are secondary or not on the table.
For example:
Open Source Ecology
“Open Source Ecology is a network of
farmers, engineers, and supporters that
for the last two years has been creating
the Global Village Construction Set, an
open source, low-cost, high performance
technological platform that allows for the
easy, DIY fabrication of the 50 different
Industrial Machines that it takes to build
a sustainable civilization with modern
comforts. The GVCS lowers the barriers
to entry into farming, building, and
manufacturing and can be seen as a lifesize lego-like set of modular tools that
can create entire economies, whether in
rural Missouri, where the project was
founded, in urban redevelopment, or in
the developing world.”

3. Another model of community based innovation
Barefoot College
“Rural men and women irrespective of age, who are
barely literate or not at all, and have no hope of getting
even the lowest government job, are being trained to work
as day and night school teachers, doctors, midwives,
dentists, health workers, balsevikas, solar engineers, solar
cooker engineers, water drillers, hand pump mechanics,
architects, artisans, designers, masons, communicators,
water testers, phone operators, blacksmiths, carpenters,
computer instructors, accountants and kabaad-se-jugaad
professionals.”
“Barefoot College is a nongovernmental organization
that has been providing basic
services and solutions to
problems in rural
communities for more than
40 years, with the objective
of making them selfsufficient and sustainable.
These ‘Barefoot solutions’
can be broadly categorized
into the delivery of Solar
Electrification, Clean Water,
Education, Livelihood
Development, and Activism.
With a geographic focus on
the Least Developed
Countries (LDCs), we
believe strongly in
Empowering Women as
agents of sustainable
change.”

4. Another example (several slides):
Maker Lab
“Ownership
Avoid silos; federate data - don't try to own data. Be transparent. Foster an ecosystem where all
participants get rewarded, support all attempts at bettering communication
Triple Open: Open Data, Open Code, Open Participation
Allow ownership across all parties involved in all projects collectively, distribute work-load
collectively; let team members dictate and establish their own strengths on their own. License
free or open.
Design Practices
Brainstorming, sketching and iterative concept development are encouraged. Provide support for
ideation, respect and foster creativity and risk taking by taking smaller steps more often.
.

5. Wiki-Like
Everything should be a wiki. Everything should allow reverting. Deputize
participants to help. Disambiguate related content; duplicate persons and the like with
disambiguation pages.
Conversational
Encourage real time discourse, encourage collaboration and open-ended conversation.
Be humane. Be multi-modal and multi-gateway, multi-ligual and multi-faceted.
Velocity
Abide by agile development practices. Focus on one thing at a time, ship early and
often. Be your own most loyal users. Provide feedback mechanisms early on, for
team and stakeholders. Iterate quickly and often, take feedback and criticism and turn
good projects into great ones.

Community
Focus on caring for our own communities first, then and only
then do you grow outwards from our own community.
Remember to appreciate those around you, encourage and
validate the work of those around you.”
you.

7. How Can Community-Based
Innovation function?
A Proposal and Approach
1. Develop an instrument (method) or utilize a
pre-existing instrument to evaluate
community needs at the specific person,
place, or group level.
Courtesy of Collection
Agency

8. Who is the “community” that
needs assessed?
➔
➔
People or entity under $100k/year
(so small local businesses can get
included)
Top priority = lowest economic
third

9. What counts as a “need?”
The Basics

Other people

Food enough to get old enough to have more people

Clean enough water

Clean enough soil to plant

Stuff to plant to grow (or food from some other source)

Protection from the elements
Okay, not many of us these days would be happy with that list “being enough,” yet those
form a fairly basic list of how to ensure community survival.
Here is what that seems to take in the current American context OR:
The Real Deal (see the last slide for a list of references to back this up)
✔ Something meaningful for people to do together with other people
✔ Geographic access to other communities with relative ease
✔ Diverse economic possibilities, one economic sector does not dominate
✔ Diverse knowledge and specializations
✔ Political will to support the basics of and the real deal of community survival
✔ Ways to solve the issues that go along with the basics & the real deal of community
survival including educational, technological, creative & social structures

10. 2. Determine process for
prioritizing needs in order of
urgency
Include many voices
• Include a variety of democratic processes
• Includes the voices of those in need
•

11. 3. Gather to address needs
through invention and
innovation
Suggested approach of the Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts =
CBTA
Community-Based
Technologies and Arts!

12. The Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts is the
physical space for the gathering of people to apply
CBTA (Community-Based Technologies and Arts) to
local Basic Needs and Real Deals
●
●
●
●
●
●
Develops or uses instrument to assess and prioritize needs
Assembles people from all backgrounds interested or versed in
traditional, proven, or emerging technologies and arts to design,
plan, create, communicate, brainstorm, test responses
Assembles donated or loaned or bought resources needed to
address that need
Tests and disperses innovation to address need
Evaluates the process, the production, the creation, and the
implementation of the community-based
solution/invention/innovation
Adjusts any step in the process, the creation, and the
implementation based on feedback

13. Solutions and steps to CBTA solutions at the Appalachian
School of Technologies and Arts are Open Source and
protected
under Creative Commons licenses
In brief, it is a term applied to everything from software to art
to mechanical inventions to politics.
What is Open Source?
In short, the goal of open source is to share blueprints, code,
creation widely and without copyright or patent.
One way to ensure that a community-based solution is not
picked up and patented is to place it under a Creative
Commons license. More on the next slide.

14. Creative Commons

15. Creative Commons Licenses
Many factors to consider in licensing, but the main factors are:
1. Attribution Attribution. You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your
copyrighted work — and derivative works based upon it — but only if they give credit the way
you request.
2. Noncommercial Noncommercial. You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform
your work — and derivative works based upon it — but for noncommercial purposes
only.
3. No Derivative Works No Derivative Works. You let others copy, distribute, display, and
perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.
4. Share Alike Share Alike. You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license
identical to the license that governs your work.
Point 2 is the suggested mode for the Appalachian School of
Technologies and Arts

16. You walk through the door or get involved with the
Appalachian School of Technologies and Arts, you
have agreed to Open Source Non-Commercial
Why?
Stay focused on addressing community
needs
● Don't get caught up in assigning or
litigating bylines or credit
●

17. But what if some corporation makes one
adjustment and steals “your” plans and uses
them?
Larry Summers (Harvard President, speaking to the Winklevoss brothers who said they
actually invented Facebook rather than Mark Zuckerberg): “Everyone at Harvard is
inventing something. Harvard undergraduates believe that inventing a job is better
than finding a job. So I suggest again that the two of you come up with a new
project.” – The Social Network, 2010.
Did the invention and/or innovation serve local community
Basic Needs or Real Deal?
If yes, then move on to working together
on inventing and innovating a new project for the
next Basic Need or Real Deal.
Stay focused on the mission!!
That is why we are here (positive)
You can't fight the people with big pockets so don't (you you you is not
why we are here; it's we we we. If that doesn't work for you, ASTA is not
the right place for you.)

18. But again, why free?!
●
●
●
●
●
Platitudes like people only value what they pay for...not TRUE!!!
People value going to church and they don't have to pay to do that.
Education is free in the United States from Kindergarten till 12th grade, because
in the 1950s and 1960s we as a society understood you needed at least a high
school education to make it in life as we know it.
People value libraries
People value free concerts, free art walks, free public art, “freeways” (no toll!),
etc.
Free is what it has to be for local people so everyone can be welcome
and everyone can participate.

19. How will you fund it then?
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Like the places listed on this presentation fund theirs
ASTA will be a non-profit
ASTA will not take any money from government agencies and will be
free of party politics
ASTA will engage active fundraising
ASTA will partner with willing partners as a block for non-gov't grants
and proposals
ASTA will be funded largely by large donors
ASTA will not compete with local groups for funds—it will not pilfer
your sources
A mix of volunteer labor and paid labor
Community involvement

20. Who's gonna start??
More about me here:
http://www.linkedin.com/in/crystalallenecook
Committed to:
Community assessment research
Planning
Friendraising and fundraising
Implementation
Stewardship

21. Next Steps:
1. Developing an instrument for or utilizing a community needs
assessment at the individual household and business level
2. Conducting the assessment
3. Developing an instrument or utilizing an instrument to prioritize
community needs
4. Assembling people with an interest in or involved in traditional,
proven, or emerging technologies and arts to invent and innovate based
on these needs and documenting this process
5. Procurring a place, funds, and resources for these people to work in
and documenting this process (including community reactions, funder
reactions, etc.)
6. Developing or utilizing a workshare model for people to work from
(the Maker Lab model comes quickly to mind)
7. Assessing what progress or success or failure would mean in terms of
this project
8. Evaluating steps and the process along the way
9. Assessing this pilot of community based technologies and arts as a
replicable model
