Are you a Maker?
A maker can be any person or group, who
invents, designs, creates, and/or builds anything with the
goal of learning, teaching, inspiring, or improving the
state of their community or world.
Tinker with robots? Launch marshmallow rockets? Design
your own clothes or cards? Invent things? Decorate

Makers can create things that are useful, fun, or just
quirky.
