A "maker" is someone who creates or builds things, often using hands-on skills and creativity. This term is commonly associated with the Maker Movement, which encourages individuals to engage in DIY (do-it-yourself) projects, using tools and technology to invent and innovate. Makers can work in various fields, including crafts, electronics, and woodworking. Makers often share their knowledge and creations through maker fairs and online platforms, fostering a community of collaboration and learning. They may use resources like 3D printers, coding software, and traditional tools to bring their ideas to life, promoting a culture of creativity and problem-solving.
