 All right welcome to monthly news number 21. Last month we set up the whole workspace with a bunch of people and this month we are with a few more. So we have product designers, we got engineers, we have web developers, helpers, business guy and a fun guy. So this month we've been busy preparing for the Dutch design week but also running our project for version four and this monthly news is going to be a bit different because we have a little team that wants to take over. So these ones are going to edit the new monthly news, very unexperienced, first time they're doing it so I hope it's going to be okay but they're quite excited about it so it should be good. Hey guys my name is Louis and I'm going to show you every month from now on an interesting project from the version four teams. This month we're going to show you Nate and his extrusion machine. Hi Nate, what's up? It's good, it's good. We're working on making this bigger in batter and we've already sort of developed a semi-industrial prototype I mean to develop this by putting a larger motor on and still working with beam molds we want to try to get some continuous extrusion going on. We can make really really nice things we know this already so the hopeful goal we have a cooling water system that we can continuously extrude beams out of and just kind of cut them off as they come out. But we're also having with doing larger fills so we're getting things that are kind of hollow we don't have enough material output to fill things completely before they cool so hopefully a faster larger motor will solve some of that for us but if you guys come over here some successes that we have had are like we said our beams before and just learning a little bit more about working with the material and building things we get things that are really smooth we start filling and cooling with water we get some interesting texturing going on so there's some interesting developments there but we still need a lot of work so thank you Nate. It sounds very interesting guys if you have any suggestions or tips down here is the forum link to his project now Charlotte is going to tell you a little bit about Dutch Design Week and I'm going to see you next month. Hello I'm Charlotte and I'm going to be talking to you about Dutch Design Week so for the past couple weeks you've been really busy getting ready we've been building painting cooking and this year we open the doors and welcome people from all over the world to come see us working in our brand new workspace we had five guides from the team that wore bright orange boiler suits and were there to answer people's questions and guide them through the exhibition we also held an event on the Saturday evening where we had free beer and delicious food cooked by our vegan chefs we had people from all over the world come visit us even this guy and our friends Tala Estorica run a workshop throughout the week where people can make sunglasses from recycled plastic we even had a live extrusion demonstration from precious plastic Ukraine thanks for that Giovanna. Brick Nick also provided an alternative lunch where we put veggies into a ceramic brick and set them up over an open fire but this year's Dutch Design Week was just the beginning of version four and next year people can come and visit and see what we've developed achieved and discovered over the past year it was a busy week but we're back to normal now yoga sessions jam sessions and playing Tony Hawk on PS2 and now Vicente is going to talk to you about some other stuff hello everybody i'm Vicente it's true that we have been working a lot in the workspace but we also get outside of it so yeah at the beginning of the month 50 000 people went to Germany to visit the handbag forest they went there to celebrate the suspension of tearing down the 12 000 year old forest which sits on top of the coal mine during the past decade people have been occupying the place and defending it against the deforestation and thanks to the persistence they managed to accomplish the goal we joined the celebration and spent a sunny day with thousands of other passionate people everybody was happy and playing instruments and having fun it was super powerful to see that even though the coal mine has huge machines people have the power to stop them and as long as they stay persistent and now Paul from Kentucky is going to introduce the next topic hey this month we finally released our video about setting up the precious plastic Kenya workspace and two of the Kenya workspace members Manduku and Alicia came to Eindhoven to help develop version four it's been a busy month we've gone from 15 to almost 40 volunteers and the farmers and bakers all around Eindhoven are helping keep our bellies full with the tastiest food that's it for this month thank you to all of our supporters we'll see you guys next month hey guys hope you enjoyed watching the video it was our first time doing it so be nice if you have any recommendations so we can do it better next time please let us know and yeah make sure to leave in the comments what do you want to see in the next one thank you bye
