Makers are individuals or groups who create, build, or invent things, often using hands-on skills and tools. They can work in various fields, including technology, crafts, and art. The maker movement encourages creativity and innovation, often emphasizing DIY (do-it-yourself) projects and collaboration. Makers often gather in community spaces known as makerspaces, where they can access tools and resources to develop their ideas. These spaces promote learning and sharing, allowing people to experiment with different materials and techniques. The movement has gained popularity through events like Maker Faires, which showcase the work of makers from diverse backgrounds.
