Democratizing innovations Empowering makers Making changes
+What is making and why its important? Throughout the world, individuals calling themselves
“makers” learn together, educate others, and openly share their innovative ideas so that others can build upon their innovations. This leads to rapid improvements in tools such as 3D printers, the design of new products across all categories, and contributes in the creation of new businesses and jobs
Today’s makers give out knowledge, skills, and tools to anyone willing to take ownership of their own future – democratizing innovation in the same way as that of the printing press, personal computing, and the proliferation of the internet did in previous innovation cycles
