Big changes start with small steps, right? So a more rainproof Amsterdam also starts with small changes. The team members and coach of the rainproof team realised that they had never taken measures to rainproof their houses. During the brainstorm session, we discovered that we could also test some of the ideas we came up with. Joris, our coach, likes brewing his own beer, so he started brewing his beer with rainwater.

When we did our groceries for the MediaLAB lunch on Monday, we got some “moestuintjes” from Albert Heijn, then we came up with the idea to collect them and grow our own vegetables. When they could grow outside, we want to put them on the roof of one of the buildings of the HvA campus. If they survive and if they will give us vegetables, we will make lunch for the MediaLAB with the rainproof vegetables.
