adiona.org is a Zagreb-based

makerspace founded in 2011 in

order to enhance the visibility of

open-source culture, with the aim

of connecting STEAM fields

(Science/Technology/Engineering/

Art/Mathematics).

The lab focuses its activities on workshops,

exhibitions, research projects, hardware production,

projects with artists and designers, maker-in-

residence programmes, international collaborations,

maker/hacker camps and hackathons, social

innovation projects, festivals, and many more. Its

community is in the centre, as a main driving force for

all activities that include production of new kits and

technology solutions, artefacts for exhibitions and

museums, education programmes with a cross-

section of cutting-edge, open-source hardware and

software lecturers, and a combination of high-tech

and low-tech approaches to the maker/hacker culture.

Radiona has organised more than 180 international

and domestic workshops, 26 international exhibitions,

nine hackathons, two international festivals,

numerous performances and lectures, and many

more events. There are diverse sections and

accompanying tools and machines for everyone

interested in making things: microcontrollers and

hands-on electronics, robotics and hacking,

programming, biohacking, audio editing, restoration of

vintage electronic organs and modular A/V

synthesizers, FPGA, 3D printing, CNC, 3D scanning,

e-textiles, interaction design, design thinking and

gamification, IoT and smart city technology –

LoRaWan, programming, flying objects, etc.

The lab is fostering innovative approaches based on

hands-on practice and lifelong learning on sustainable

foundations, inclusion, and participative practice driven

by access to all philosophy. Radiona is taking part in

several international projects with science centres and

museums to foster the use of technological solutions

with creativity, successfully creating solutions for

exhibitions, or hackathons like Museomix.
