What is Maker Culture?

What is Maker Culture?

“Maker culture” refers to the whole ethos and process of fiddling, tinkering, experimenting, failing, reworking, recycling, upcycling, hacking, and creating. Maker culture does not depend on a perfect setting or dedicated space. It’s a way of looking at the world, creatively testing the boundaries and playing with what you have.

Make it Work For You

“…for season 12 of Project Runway…one of the finalists is using 3D printing… but this individual is able to do this because of the support of a research center at a university. The individual does not own the technology, but has been given carte blanche to use it. I watched it in action — fascinating”. -Tim Gunn
