DIY practices predate recorded history as human survival often relied on the ability to repair and repurpose tools and materials. Over the past few decades, new materials and sharing mechanisms have led to a wider adoption of DIY culture. One of the earliest “modern era” DIY communities formed among amateur radio hobbyists in the 1920’s. Starting in the 1970's, enthusiasts created 'zines' to express the punk aesthetic. Thousands of DIY communities exist today, varying in size, organization and project structure. We focus on a subset of these as a sample of the diverse materials, practices and sharing mechanisms among DIY practitioners.
This is a page to have information of Maker Movement When Make: magazine launched in 2005, making was largely a solitary activity. There was an intuition, a hint, that it was something that appealed to millions, but there was no easy way for these Makers to gather or share. Makers often worked alone in their garages and woodshops, in backyard sheds, and borrowed industrial spaces. The Maker Movement has grown exponentially over the last 11 years, and our team is proud to have been a part of that, helping to connect Makers, create meeting places and aggregate ideas. At the same time, the media landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade. To continue to be a catalyst in the face of these tectonic changes, we have had to make both tough choices and joyous ones this year. The Maker Movement today is no longer a nascent, unorganized collection of people working separately on projects.

This is a page for you to go to a Party in Madrid Spain Situated squarely in the center of Spain is its capital and largest city, Madrid, home to roughly 3.2 million people and a rapidly growing Maker community. This upcoming weekend, Madrid will become the fifth (!!) city to host a Mini Maker Faire in Spain, with their inaugural event set to take place on Saturday, April 25, at Medialab-Prado. In 2013, on the east coast of Spain, Barcelona was the first Spanish city to host a Faire on June 29. Here’s a video glimpse of the 2014 Bilbao Mini Maker Faire: In 2014, in the northwest of Spain, the city of León added its voice to the conversation by hosting the first León Mini Maker Faire, and the second annual will be held on September 12. We chatted with Madrid Mini Maker Faire organizers César García and Sara Alvarellos (pictured below) to get their story. What made them decide to organize a Faire? Sara and I began visiting makerspaces during our travels three years ago. What’s the current state of the Maker community in Madrid?
Sony and it's contribution to the Maker Movement Crowdfunding site Indiegogo attracts aspiring musicians, film students and tech startups. And a multinational company with billions of dollars in sales: Sony. The electronics giant aims to raise $50,000 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo for its MESH project—a network of toy-like devices that attach to household objects for added functionality. The company is halfway through its third crowdfunding project, and it looks like it’ll meet its goal. Sony simply wants a sounding board for ideas from its new innovation unit. MESH is Sony’s third attempt at crowdfunding following its FES e-paper smartwatch and the Qrio smart lock, which have so far garnered a total of about ¥33 million ($277,000) on Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake. “Fundraising isn’t the point here,” a Sony spokeswoman said. The concepts that landed on Indiegogo and Makuake are the product of Sony’s New Business Creation Department, which was established in April last year.
Startups and big corporations embrace the maker movement SAN MATEO, Calif. — The maker movement has helped start many companies. This year, the Maker Faire is giving them a place of their own, with a “Startup Pavilion” that highlights 20 new maker-centric companies. It’s part of a growing recognition that the do-it-yourself spirit is not just a fun hobby, it’s a rich source of economic potential. “There is a kind of maturation happening to the maker movement,” said Maker Faire organizer Dale Dougherty, when I spoke to him last week. Related: Google embraced the DIY spirit last week with more than 400 Arduino-based sensors at its Google I/O conference. “At the very first Maker Faire, they really were all amateurs,” Dougherty said, of the exhibitors. Big companies are getting into the act, too. “It’s a long, slow process of a company trying to understand the maker movement and engage with it,” Dougherty said. “What would the maker community want to do with a cellphone as a platform, not just a fixed device?”
