What Makers are saying about Make Community
“Not only does Maker maker mean inspiration, but it means the innovations and a path towards the future. Maker is a new future, a place where everyone who wants to create can, who want to learn can, or want to try new opportunities can. Maker is a space where people of all different religions, race, and age can come together and speak freely. This is a place where people/innovators can connect.”
Bryson Turner
“We come together as a family, where other people will not understand us, we understand each other. We come together to shape our future together.”
Adam Savage
“I am interested in the projects and love the idea of a community of makers.”
Laura H.
Denver, CO
“Because MAKE is a bet in favor of a good future.”
Geoffrey
“...I have subscribed to Make for years, I can’t remember not reading it for the inspiration it provides. Last year I attended Maker Faire NY for the first time. It was an experience without equal...When I saw the opportunity for Make membership I knew that it was for me. You are thanking those of us that are members. I am thanking you for allowing me to help, to be a part of something so great...”
Gary B.
Babylon, NY
“Dale and his associates have created one of the most important movements in the world today. The Maker Movement empowers creativity and bridges nations and cultures, and both of those things are necessary if humanity is to have a future.”
Martin
“I love the make magazine and the makefaire.I attended for years in NYC and I was very sad to see there was no faire this year. I brought at least ones tudent with me as well. Introducing students to idea of being a producer not just a consumer is very, very important to me and has been for over 40 years.”
Gloria
“We believe Makers are the movers and shakers all over the world. The Maker community provides a platform for imagination and invention for anyone and everyone. It provides education for the young and old and inspires everyone who attends. We have supported Maker Faires in Florida and are so excited and honored to become charter members of Make!”
Barbara
“Where else can one go to get excited about the latest filament material, VR setup, or blacksmith technique with people that are just as passionate? Nowhere but the Maker community.”
James
“As a maker I value the contribution that Maker Media has made in the past and look forward to its future.”
Tony
“To inspire more generations of makers!”
Damaris
“There has always been such a strong sense of belonging within the Make community. The culture you've inspired, and people it's attracted has touched people's lives in ways you may never know. I sincerely appreciate every opportunity you've provided for me personally, and how much you've made possible for every kid and grownup with a dream and an itch to build.”
Madelin Woods
“Because Make changed my life, twice.”
Donald
“Connect, share and get inspired by makers and maker communities from all around the world.”
Jon
“Everyone should be a maker and our education system needs to continue to shift our students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers while exploring and playing in their learning.”
Derral
“To help keep the Maker movement going so we can help future generations to understand that making is very important for everyone.”
Glenn
“I’m proud to be a part of the community and inspired by every single person there!”
Bob Clagett
“From the time my daughter was a toddler, she was a Maker. Turn your back on her for one minute and she would start making. Thanks to the Make: community she had the opportunity to participate with people who head an ethos of sharing and learning together rather than competing - a community that values curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. In this community she was able to find her own identity.”
Marie
“I'm a very amateur maker, with limited skills and very little experience. Regardless, I look forward to each Make magazine, and think it's extremely important to keep this community alive. The world needs innovators and artists more than ever before, and Make plays a key role in developing them.”
Todd
“Maker has no borders”
Yuka
“Having had a personal or shared booth at the Maker Faire in San Mateo since 2012, I cannot express my gratitude for how much it has benefited me and my career. During this period, I created 10 new books, and met wonderful people!”
Steven
“Wanted to find a community where it's easy to learn, and find people at all skill levels.”
Matt G.
Orlando, FL
“I'm a maker, builder, scientist, lover, etc. Really interested in CNC and 3D printing and thinking of getting a local Makerspace group started in my community!”
Drew
“I enjoy electronics and building things. I am retired, but now teach engineering at a small private college. I am surprised how few of my students are "makers". I am using my experience with Make: to encourage that. I think I should support the 'movement' with this membership.”
Stanley G.
Iola, KS
“I believe in Makers! I'm not sure what my life would be like without Make magazine, Maker Faires, makerspaces, and garage workshops - but I'm sure it wouldn't have been anywhere near as interesting. I have to support this so others can find their way here too.”
Brian
“Long time fan of the maker community, currently working to catalyze an eco-maker culture among students in our rural corner of the world.”
Amy Nico
“We believe the maker movement can be an unbiased way for everyone to create and make the world a better place.”
Jey
“I have always been interested in 'making' and as I get closer to retirement I hope to have more time to learn/explore!”
Tom
“I am interested in learning and creating things. I love learning and enjoy tinkering in my spare time. I worked for many years in the manufacturing industry and have returned to school to study computer science. I'd like to combine my experiences and see where it leads.”
Jonas S.
Rainier, OR
“MAKE brought all of us together to form this, our community.”

Michael
“Maker was recommended to me by a friend who is a member and a young creative Chemical Engineer. I've worked in manufacturing for over 30 years. My work has been directly related to Problem Solving, encompassing Design, Prototyping and always Learning New Skills. Becoming a member of a creative organization whose mission is promoting education and knowledge was the next step for me.”
Lawrence M.

Joseph
“Been a builder and creator since I was an "unsupervised" kid growing up in Brooklyn building clubhouses with salvaged materials from the enormous and wild junkyard behind our house. Stay curious, get creative and Make!”
Steve
“I see the maker movement changing the lives and the futures of people around the world. It changes consumers to creators, the helpless to the helpful, and the needy to the nurturing. This is a movement that must go on!”
Jason
“I like the idea of being self reliant by making things.”
Christopher B.
Sterling, VA
“The world needs more makers.”
