Schema of Makers
Event Information
About this event
Who defines what a legitimate maker is? Explore how different types of makers are valued and have an influence on how the community is shaped.
Communities are like ecosystems — living things that change and evolve over time. We will unpack different maker identities and the dynamics of those identities and their influence on how our makerspace community has evolved… for good or for ill. This workshop will explore both what the identity of makers have been as well as explore what it could and should be.
