Makers are driven by their hunger towards the future, paving the way with the strength of their ideas. Makers are artisans 2.0, who apply the “do it yourself – DIY” philosophy into technology and science. They try to go beyond the limits of their abilities through their sharing spirit and the mutual help they give to each other. In fact Makers are all part of a great international community still growing, always keeping in touch with themselves.
