<h3> Philosophy </h3> <p> The maker movement is a social movement with an artisan spirit. Maker culture emphasizes learning-through-doing (active learning) in a social environment. (Might not be a movement.) <ul> <li> Democratization of engineering tools: self-directed learning from youtube, reddit, online forums, etc. is an indespensable complement to having access to space and tools. </li> <li> Encourage novel, cross-disciplinary applications of technologies. Personal fabrication drives innovation. </li> <li> Production and consumption can be more distributed. (Personal fabrication breaks the equality that jobs = work = money = consumption.) </li> <li> Personal production, not mass production. </li>  <li> Open access: after the course, you're encouraged to continue using the space! </li> </ul></p> <p> Types of making include amateur scientific equipment, biology, food and composting, clothes, musical intruments, vehicles/robots and tool making. </p>  <h3> Common Principles </h3> <p><ul> <li>Community Learning</li> <li>Personal Fabrication</li> <li>Iterative Design</li> <li>Skill Integration</li> <li>Documentation</li> </ul></p> <h3>Example Final Projects </h3> <br> <br>  <iframe width="955" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xMw1Uj4MwNo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p> <a href='http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.14/people/nathan_melenbrink/Week_15.html'>Wall Plotter</a>, Nathan Melenbrink 2014. </p>   <iframe width="955" height="541" title="vimeo-player" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/82073250" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href='http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.13/people/Jonathan_Grinham/index.html'>MOSS PAD</a>, Jonathan Grinham 2013. </p> <iframe width="955" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zyBvk2VtEa8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href='https://tomkinsc.github.io/harvard-ps70/2020-05-14/'>Smart Chef Knife</a>, Chris Tomkins-Tinch 2020. </p> <iframe width="955" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fKCS6ebLzv4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href='https://aspartate.github.io/personal_website/blog/avatarm/'>AvatArm</a>, Andrew Zhang 2021. </p> <iframe width="955" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pkDFMg0sEoE" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href='https://samjo4788.github.io/PHYSCI-70/FinalProject/indexFP.html'>DanceGlove</a>, Samantha Jones 2021. </p> [Bobby McCarthy](https://bobbymmccarthy.github.io/ps70/finalProject.html), 2023 <br> [Jackson Moody](https://jacksonmoody.github.io/PS70/finalproject), 2023 <br> [David Brown](https://davidb8.github.io/PS70/final_project.html), 2023 <br> [Noa Choi](https://nchoi22.github.io/ps70/15_finalproject/index.html), 2023 <br> <iframe width="955" height="541" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CHDSnCLrz1Q" title="Blocky Coding" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> [Connor Leggett](https://cjleggett.github.io/ps70/weeks/final.html), 2023  <p> <a href="https://www.thereadread.com/">The Read Read - device to teach reading to the blind.</a> </p> <video width="955" height="541" controls> <source src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0045/0225/7757/files/MOON_Epic_Video_BG_v2.mp4?8923748943239564712" type="video/mp4"> </video> <p>Moon, Dixon Magister Yang 2017. </p>  <p> Other relevant concepts include <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software' >Free and open-source software</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-design_movement' >Open design movement</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maker_Faire' >Maker Faires</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(magazine)' >Makezine</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Ecology' >Open source ecology</a>, </p> <h3> Global Impact </h3> <p> <ul>  <li><a href="http://fabacademy.org/">Fab Academy</a> </li> <li> In addition to the Fab Lab network, many other centers are pursuing similar goals around the world, including our neighbors <a href="https://artisansasylum.com/">Artisan's Asylum</a>. </li> </ul></p> <img src='./aa.jpg' alt="artisansasylum"> <p> <a href="https://artisansasylum.com/">Artisan's Asylum</a> </p>
