The DIY world is bursting at the seams these days with Makers, Hackers, Inventors, Tweakers, Coders, Steampunks, and myriad other folks who share a creative urge to invent things that nobody has yet figured out or take apart, modify, and adapt things that someone else has taken a lot of time to put together. You’ll find them in their home garage, to be sure, and you’ll find the best of them at Hackerspaces and Maker Faires. So join us for an hour of tips & tricks and a selection of internet resources that can help you figure out how you, too, can come up with an idea and then build it!
