Exploring Maker Practice: Common Attitudes, Habits and Skills from Vancouver's Maker Community

growing number of schools, libraries, museums and institutions are running "maker" programs where youth are using new technologies (such as digital fabrication tools) to build creative projects. We examine the practice of expert makers to help inform these efforts. Common attitudes, habits and skills from thirteen expert makers were identified through semi-structured interviews. These findings are discussed along with possible implications for practice.
