Can Anyone Make Anything? Enabling Novices to Prototype Electronics
Maker Faire Bay Area 2017
May 19th-21st
Can anyone make anything? Yes, we think anyone can do it! See examples of unexpected people making complex ideas real and ponder:
1. How do we create a tool that would empower anyone to make anything?
2. Why doesn’t it exist right now?
3. Where are we now in solving it?

Mark Pavlyukovskyy
After graduating with a Molecular Biology degree from Princeton, Mark realized that he wanted to be creating with bits and atoms rather than cells and test tubes. He co-founded Piper to create tools to empower the next generation to see computers and electronics as a creative medium rather than black box devices.
