Foreword by Tim OReillyDale Dougherty, creator of MAKE: magazine and the Maker Faire, provides a guided tour of the international phenomenon known as the Maker Movement, a social revolution that is changing what gets made, how its made, where its made, and who makes it. Free to Make is a call to join what Dougherty calls the renaissance of making, an invitation to see ourselves as creators and shapers of the world around us. As the internet thrives and world-changing technologieslike 3D printers and tiny microcontrollersbecome increasingly affordable, people around the world are moving away from the passivity of one-size-fits-all consumption and command-and-control models of education and business. Free to Make explores how making revives abandoned and neglected urban areas, reinvigorates community spaces like libraries and museums, and even impacts our personal and social developmentfostering a mindset that is engaged, playful, and resourceful. Free to Make asks us to imagine a world where making is an everyday occurrence in our schools, workplaces, and local communities, grounding us in the physical world and empowering us to solve the challenges we face.

This deeply insightful book highlights the profound role that the Maker - photo 1

This deeply insightful book highlights the profound role that the Maker Movement is playing in catalyzing and shaping a new Big Shift that will transform our economy and society. We are transitioning from passive consumers to active makers, driven by a desire to learn and achieve greater impact, and in the process rediscovering our humanity. If you want to understand where we are headed as a global society and why this is such a promising direction, this compelling and exciting book is a must-read. JOHN HAGEL, founder and cochairman, Deloitte Center for the Edge

Free to Make captures what it means to be human: to imagine, question, create, reflect, and try again. Its about making your own experiences matter and sharing them in ways that help make the world a changed place over time. MIKE PETRICH AND KAREN WILKINSON, authors of The Art of Tinkering

Free to Make is a comprehensive treatise on everything Maker. A leader of the Maker Movement since its inception, Dale Dougherty describes the roots of the movement and gives great examples of how it is changing lives and changing society. Free to Make answers the very important question: In todays society, where we can buy anything, why make? A must-read for any maker or anyone interested in becoming one. BRIAN KRZANICH, CEO of Intel

This is a truly inspiring book by one of the great progenitors of the Maker Movement both here in USA and the world at large. Said most simply, we think with our hands as well as our headssomething we have forgotten in most of our current schooling. Free to Make provides a way to reach the many of us that find learning by sitting in a school room so boring. A sense of agency is the key to learning, and making things is a route to agency. JOHN SEELY BROWN, former chief scientist, Xerox Corp and former director of Xerox PARC; coauthor of A New Culture of Learning and The Power of Pull

Free to Make is a profound and joyful journey through a movement that is at once historical and profoundly contemporary. Imbued with sixties sensibilities that give rise to creative acts of genius, whimsy, and passion, this book explores the ways in which the Maker Movement nurtures that irrepressible human desire to create and inspire others. MARGARET HONEY, president and CEO of New York Hall of Science

This book is dedicated to all makers, past, present, and future. My close friend Larry Martens passed away while I was finishing up this book. Born with deformed hands, Larry was a hands-on maker who loved to work with wood but enjoyed even more sharing his stories with friends and family.

Acknowledgments

I am fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from and work with so many clever, creative, and thoughtful people. I appreciate all the makers who have shared their projects and their stories with me and the world. I hope this book captures their enthusiasm, conviction, and optimism.

At OReilly Media, Ive had such a long and productive relationship working with Tim OReilly, Laura Baldwin, Sara Winge, Gina Blaber, and Allen Noren. Thanks also to Christina Isobel, Arwen OReilly Griffiths, and Meara OReilly. Id like to thank my current and past colleagues at Maker Media, especially Todd Sotkiewicz.

The Make Magazine Founding Team helped bring a rough idea into reality: Mark Frauenfelder, Phil Torrone, David Albertson, Shawn Connolly, Dan Woods, Keith Hammond, Goli Mohammedi, Michael Shapiro, and Kirk Rohr. Also, Paul Spinrad, Daniel Carter, Jason Babler, and Gareth Branwyn have played important roles on the magazine, and now Mike Senese is at the helm.

For over ten years, the core Maker Faire Team, led by Sherry Huss and Louise Glasgow, has created and shaped a new kind of participatory event. Along with Bridgette Vanderlaan, Jonathan Magnin, and Kate Rowe, they bring passion, dedication, and caring to producing an event that is challenging to do. There are many other team members who contribute behind the scenes, making these events amazing and safe for everybody. I also want to thank Sabrina Merlo and the producers of global Maker Faires, who bring the same kind of dedication to their local communities.

Id like to thank the team at Maker Ed for their efforts to share with educators how to engage more children in the practice of making. That includes Warren Trey Lathe, the executive director, and his team as well as the board members and funders. Id also like to thank AnnMarie Thomas for helping get the nonprofit up and running.

My collaborating author, Ariane Conrad, helped me organize my thoughts and my writing, while contributing her own insights on the Maker Movement.

I am grateful for the love and long-standing support of my wife, Nancy, and my entire familyespecially my children, Katie, Ben, and Glenda. Thanks also to my mom.

To all of you who have shared all or part of this journey and hold on to its promise, I hope we continue to share the belief that all of us are makers and that the future will be better only if we participate in its creation.
