= Maker Faire (Make Magazine/O’Reilly Publications/Ignite)<br/> =

These three resources (e.g. Make Magazine, O’Reilly Publications, and Ignite) are umbrella by the Maker Fair. It will be inferred that these three sub categories will be covered/referred by the use of the strategic resource Maker Faire, as seen in Figure 1.

= MAKER FAIRE =

== Overview ==

Maker Faire encompasses many aspects that spans a broad spectrum of topics: ranging from the beautiful contraptions, fascinating abstractions, and just plain creativity with out limits. Maker Faire targets all ages and fields of interest, the only requirement is that the participant must show: (1) what they made and, most importantly, (2) what they learned.

== History ==

The first Maker Faire was launched in the Bay Area in 2006, which attracted many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) communities and aspiring inventors. Since then, and with successes with the NYC show case in 2013, more of these types of events are occurring around the world. Such as Tokyo, Rome, Santiago, and Oslo. These Maker Faires are growing in size every year!

== What makes the Maker? ==

Maker or participants of these fairs are vastly DIY'ers (Do-It-Yourself), hobbyist, and enthusiasts. This can span all fields and disciplines, which is not only limited to: arts, engineering, science, and math spanning from amateurs to professionals. These are typically people who love creativity, innovation, and self-fulfillment for a you-never-stop-learning lifestyle.

== Purpose ==

This event allows for a melting pot of creativity and learning. Some of which do become entrepreneurs, but most just enjoy the beauty of the human imagination. Maker Faire allows for a nurturing ground for growing a community with more creative and curious thinkers.

=== Works from the Founder, Dale Dougherty ===

“I believe we are all makers. We can find all kinds of makers in our communities. Yet we also want to help create more makers. Through education and community outreach, we can offer the opportunity to make things to more people, but particularly children. They might find these opportunities at school but also at community centers, summer camps and science centers, or even at home. My goal is that all people, young and old, come to see themselves as makers, creators and doers because I know that the people who have the skills and knowledge to make things have the power to make the world a better place.” - Dale Dougherty
