Maker Projects

What is a 'maker' project?

A 'maker' project is any creative or innovative project that involves designing, building, and creating something with your own hands. It can involve a wide range of skills, such as electronics, programming, woodworking, 3D printing, or crafting. Maker projects can be individual or collaborative, and they often incorporate new technologies or repurposed materials. Sharing of projects, ideas, and services online is also a hallmark of the maker movement. The maker movement is focused on empowering individuals to create and innovate, and maker projects can be found in fields such as art, engineering, science, and education. Maker projects often emphasize experimentation, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Maker projects integrate technical skills, such as using electronic components, science& engineering, with artistic goals such as whimsical art.
