7. Minister Bussemaker:
"What I also find a very interesting initiative are
the Frisian libraries who (as the first in Europe!)
make available a mobile FabLab. Young people
can get started with open source design and 3D
printing. This also ties in with the local problems
in Friesland where young people often leave
school without a diploma and companies are
struggling to find suitable personnel."
Dutch Minister of Education, Jet Bussemaker:
