Looks at the social revolution known as the Maker Movement that is changing what gets made, how it's made, where it's made, and who makes it, inviting people around the world to view themselves as the creators and shapers of the world around them. - Random House, Inc.
A fascinating study of the global Maker Movement that explores how âmakingâ impacts our personal and social developmentâperfect for enthusiastic DIY-ers
Â
Dale Dougherty, creator of MAKE: magazine and the Maker Faire, provides a guided tour of the international phenomenon known as the Maker Movement, a social revolution that is changing what gets made, how itâs made, where itâs made, and who makes it. Free to Make is a call to join what Dougherty calls the ârenaissance of making,â an invitation to see ourselves as creators and shapers of the world around us.
Â
As the internet thrives and world-changing technologiesâlike 3D printers and tiny microcontrollersâbecome increasingly affordable, people around the world are moving away from the passivity of one-size-fits-all consumption and command-and-control models of education and business. Free to Make explores how making revives abandoned and neglected urban areas, reinvigorates community spaces like libraries and museums, and even impacts our personal and social developmentâfostering a mindset that is engaged, playful, and resourceful. Free to Make asks us to imagine a world where making is an everyday occurrence in our schools, workplaces, and local communities, grounding us in the physical world and empowering us to solve the challenges we face.
