National Week of Making: Why We Make #NationOfMakers #WeekofMaking@NationOfMakers
Great post from Alex Morrison, Maker Education Coordinator at Thinkery.
n Space 8, we’re not afraid to admit that we can make mistakes. We’ve made 3D prints that look like bad hair days, circuits that never move or light up and woodworking projects that look like Dalí paintings. We’ve discovered halfway through a project that we’re actually using the wrong material and it’s safe to say, we don’t always get things right the first time.
However, just because we don’t get a project right doesn’t mean we failed. It doesn’t mean we give up. We keep making something over and over until we feel proud of the work we’ve accomplished. Personally, I am proud of a bicycle powered bike lathe I built for SXSW Create, and it still doesn’t work!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
