Maker School: Learning ways to get things made

Everyone has an idea for something they want. It could be something that they saw in a store that was close too, but not exactly, what they wanted. Or maybe a picture in their head of something unique and VERY cool. But Cameron Sinclair, one of the founders of Architecture for Humanity, pointed out the problem with just having an idea:

"Many ideas can change the world, but if you don't build them they don't count"

100kGarages is all about turning ideas into something physical, and Maker school is where you learn how. The topics include:

• Is a CNC router just a big Laser Cutter?

• Design thoughts

• 2d or 3d?

• Design example 1: design decisions

• Design example 2: working with a Fabber

• What should it cost...seat-of-the-pants estimating for Makers

• Create something original or work from an existing design? (Coming soon)

• Specialty software and templates: getting a head start (Coming soon)

• Thinking green (and cheap!): getting more from less (Coming soon)
