Makers, hackers, and gamers are groups representing technology-based extensions of crafts and DIY culture. Makers engage in activities like engineering, robotics, and 3D printing. Hackers participate in events like hackathons where they collaborate on software projects. Gamers enjoy gaming platforms and communities like Minecraft. These groups come together in spaces like hackerspaces which are open labs where people share resources and knowledge to build and create things.

labs incorporating elements of machine shops,
workshops and/or studios where hackers can
come together to share resources and knowledge
to build and make things.[
 Many hackerspaces participate in the use and
development of free software, open hardware,
and alternative media. They are often physically
located in social centers, adult education centers,
public schools, or on university campuses, but
may relocate to industrial or warehouse space
when they need more room.
