In dense urban Singapore, little balcony and common corridor gardens take the place of yards. What is now a community-driven assistive-tech makerspace got its name “SalvageGarden” from the Australian pop duo that resonated with several volunteers who started off working in a tiny back-room in a borrowed office space at EngineeringGood to hold parts of broken laptops donated to the "Computers Against Covid" (CAC) campaign. Laptops and parts were “frankenstein-ed” together from salvaged parts to create fully functional "FrankenTop" laptops. These devices together with other refurbished laptops were re-homed with Singapore resident families to support Singapore’s home-based-learning (HBL) and Work From Home (WFH) measures imposed in response to the pandemic. This diverse group of volunteers—mostly working from their apartment dining rooms and coffee tables to patch together "good enough" laptops from donated spares—saw themselves not as techies, geeks, or engineers but as SalvageGardeners, self-taught and responding to a social need in a time of crisis. With a passion for helping others, learning-by-doing, and rapid process iteration, these adaptive skills echoed those of so many essential and healthcare frontline workers responding to ever changing pandemic demands and restrictions. This geeky passion for fixing things and repurposing now serves the wider community as a volunteer driven Makerspace and a safe-space for exploring tech-for-good through DIY Assistive Tech and e-waste up-cycling projects.
