“Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers.”
— Joan Voight, Ad Week
Drones, Rockets, and Planes
“The World Maker Faire is clearly the successor to The World’s Fair out of the sheer will and force of the Maker
Movement. The vendors and exhibits range from the garage startup to the corporate monolith. This relationship is unique in its open acceptance and
reliance on one another, both culturally and economically.”
