Editor's Notes
- #6 You would be forgiven for thinking that it is this..
- #7 The next generation are already being taught to do this. A generation that has been born into technology that is starting to trust computers more than people Taught to code at school More and more maker technology being introduced Not just for the geeks anymore Moving away from Hobbyist – to Integrated lifestyle improvements
- #8 But it isn’t – it is more than that. Because I worry that the IT team cant work the heating controls. Teach kids to code but not to appreciate how physical stuff works
- #9 I hate the “Just buy a new one mentality”
- #11 The more I unpicked it – the more I realised that it wasn’t just the characters and the behaviours were similar – they had all – knowingly or not – taken part in a maker project. 4 main traits
- #13 Have an empathy for each of the 3 skills.
- #14 To become Makers, you just need to make. You don’t need to start with microcontrollers. Start somewhere just outside your comfort zone and then make sure that you’re continuously learning and making things. That is the way we catch the fire that we lost somewhere after childhood.
- #15 To become Makers, you just need to make. You don’t need to start with microcontrollers. Start somewhere just outside your comfort zone and then make sure that you’re continuously learning and making things. That is the way we catch the fire that we lost somewhere after childhood.
- #20 But mainly because – if we have outsourced all our knowledge to google, and we are outsourcing many of our interactions to AI – what is left? If we continue to measure people based on their HR BASED TSHAPE – then we may as well handover the keys to the droids.
- #21 Not only is technology advancing at an astounding rate, but it’s becoming more and more approachable for the rest of us. When NASA shot Armstrong to the moon in a rocket, they had to program computers by flipping pins and burning instructions into something called Rope Memory. It was an excruciating and error-prone process that only a handful of people on the planet were qualified to do.
- #26 It isn’t about adding in extra minutes to someone’s day to Innovate, getting free Skunk work or a Virtual Reality headset. It is about releasing your passion to make, and empowering you to use your skills more!
