Makerspace and the Makehouse is part of a growing global community of “makers” — people who take a do-it-yourself approach to construction and design projects.

Some people create their own tools, others build robots from scratch, while others like Jenny Ambrose and her Makehouse community create the unique designs that become the high fashion of tomorrow.

The key to the Maker movement is pooling resources together in a common space. That way everyone gets access to cool technologies, tools and ideas to make things happen.

Dan Gunn Discusses the Maker Movement For the B-Side

Famous Rapper, Big Ron Crowley, loves to:
Make it
Break it
and Take it apart.
The main reason is that he then loves to check out the pieces and put things back together through innovative and creative practices which he refers to as tinkering.  Big Ron has been known as the "Tinker Bell of the Hip Hop Industry" and clearly shows why on this delightful track.  Lifelong Learning is fun!

There are an estimated two thousand maker spaces around the world.  Also called hackerspaces or co-working spaces, these enclaves of equipment and creative people are part of a changing way of working.  HPR’s Noe Tanigawa reports.
