With the interest, learning resources and the right tools, anyone can create new devices or tinker with existing devices to discover new applications can be a maker. The maker culture is open to all backgrounds as a technology-based extension of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) culture formed out of collaboration and support from fellow makers.

Here are some attributes that can help you become a Maker:

LEARNING

Following guides are a good way to get started on a new hobby, but putting your understanding to use by making  can be worth the reward.

DOING

Learn to make things by doing, and learn to make better things by doing more. The hands-on experience of making can often exceed the result.

DISCOVERY

Find out how something works, why it does what it does and how it can be used to do something new.

IMAGINATION

Imagine what you could be capable of, the problems you could solve and the possibilites that could be achieved by your ability to make solutions.

TOOLS

Whether it’s programming, circuits, software or machinery, the right tools can help get you started, while better tools can help you pursue more complex projects.

COLLABORATION

Share the experience of learning, using new tools, solving problems and take on larger, more challenging pursuits with other makers.
