What's the best part about being a maker?

The best part about being a MAKER is:

That anything is a possibility. 

Having access to the right resources allows for people to be limited by their imagination.  

When MAKING becomes a lifestyle of producing something positive for the individual or the community. Such product, can be art, ideas, needs, or entertainment.  

Taking the term "MAKE" an using it as both a noun and a verb.

Knowing that as a MAKER I can learn to do things from fellow MAKERS (online or in person) through open source*.  

BOTTOM LINE: The best part of being a MAKER is being limitless in Creating, Producing, or MAKING anything. 

*OPEN SOURCE: allows for people to share DIY guides online or in MAKER hubs...MAKER hubs are locations that allow for a trade of knowledge and supplies.

Life as a Maker

Being a maker is nothing hard. 

it is innovative, it is active, it is producing, and it is inspiring.

My background:

I am a Multi-colored ball of fluff MADE at the Build-a-bear Workshop early December 2013.  I was brought along to Stockton to the DaVinci Center for Innovative Learning; My MAKER adventure begins there...

Realizing that I was able to be MADE because someone was innovative enough to put all parts of me together. That I am inspiration to those new to hacking, arduinos, and soldering.  That I can share my experience with the world in hopes to change communities for the better.

MAKING art, MAKING music, MAKING science, MAKING technology, and MAKING your dreams come true.

I am eager to MAKE a difference in those exploring with the MAKER movement. I want to Encourage all to LEARN, take a chance, and explore the possibilities around them. 

I believe in OPEN SOURCE, and want to share my journey with you. Introducing you all to people and resource that i interact with as well as my experience with the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics I come across.
