What is a Maker?

A maker is someone who creates.

Makers are curious, want to learn more, and may be interested in combining processes or mediums to complete their vision. Makers see problems as challenges and challenges as opportunities to innovate.

If you enjoy creative thinking, problem solving, and above all growing your knowledge base, then you have the makings of a maker!
