Makers of the Machine Age
World Maker Faire 2015
May 18th-1st
Maker Culture is about breaking the rules, creating possibilities, disrupting the status quo, and hard work. The path is not always clear. It involves curiosity and failures. Sometimes people resist it, but the process is always exhilarating and leads to groundbreaking ideas. This is the heart of making and what Intel supports and celebrates.
