Who Are You Making For?

World Maker Faire 2015

September 26th-27th

Presentation Education

Many makers and educators get excited about hands-on learning in the classroom, but struggle with what to make. In this talk, I'll share a few stories of makers whose work has inspired me in and out of the classroom, and discuss how their stories and motivations led to the things they've made.

Tom Igoe

Tom Igoe likes playing with electronics, mechanics, and programming, making things that let people express themselves, and unusual clocks. He has written four books for makers, and is a contributor to Make magazine. He teaches at the ITP at NYU. He is a co-founder of Arduino because he believes that open fabrication can change the world. He wants to visit Svalbard someday.
