What do you get when you combine an electronics hobbyist, hacker, garage mechanic, kitchen table inventor, tinkerer, and entrepreneur? A 'maker,' of course. Playful and creative, makers are-through expertise and experimentation-creating art, products, and processes that are helping change the way all of us think and interact with the world.
As you'll see from the 20 interviews in Makers at Work, inquisitive makers are just as apt to pick up a laser cutter or Arduino or Raspberry Pi as a wrench to fashion something new. One maker powered a scooter with a battery-operated drill. Another made a messenger bag 'smart' like a phone. Then there's the guy who created a sensor that sends an alert to his phone whenever someone opens the door of his mailbox; the teen who made not just a motorized skateboard, but one with treads that works on grass; and the architect/builder who made a transportable front porch so he could move it to the rear of the house to enjoy sunsets.
Crazy as foxes, makers-working in the spirit of Tesla, Wozniak, Edison, Gates, Musk and many others-can bring sophisticated products to the people or to the market as fast or faster than large corporations. In so doing, they are blazing trails tomorrow's inventors, programmers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs will wander down to come up with the next big things. And they are not just enabling new technologies and devices-they are changing the way these devices are funded, manufactured, assembled, and delivered.
Makers at Work puts a spotlight on the maker mindset and motivation of those who are reinventing the world one object or idea at a time. It gives you a firsthand look at the maker culture from the people who are creating it. They may hail from many professions and industries but they are all united in their love of building things-and making life more fun, interesting, and profitable. You will:
- Meet the individuals who define what it means to be a maker.
- Learn about the tools and technologies driving the new industrial revolution.
- Discover ways to scale your weekend project into a profitable business.
The new masters of the Makerverse ask one question: Can it be done? As these interviews will show, yes it can.

As you'll see from the 21 interviews in Makers at Work, inquisitive makers are just as apt to pick up a laser cutter or an Arduino as a wrench to fashion something new. For example, you'll meet Jeri Ellsworth, who might provide a video lecture on magnetic logic one day and a tutorial on welding a roll bar on a stock car the next. You'll also meet Eben Upton, who put cheap, powerful computing in the hands of everyone with the Raspberry Pi; Becky Stern, who jazzes up clothing with sensors and LEDs; and bunnie Huang, who knows the ins and outs of the Shenzhen, China, electronics parts markets as well as anyone. As all the interviews in Makers at Work show, makers have something in common: reverence for our technical past coupled with an aversion to convention. If they can't invent new processes or products, it's simply not worth doing.

Discover ways to scale yourweekend project into a profitable business. See how others have used to crowdfunding to make their visions a reality. Learn how open-source hardware and software is enabling whole new categories of products by removing barriers of entry for inventors.
The new masters of the "Makerverse" ask two questions: Can it be done? Is it fun? As these interviews will show, the answer to both questions is, "Let's find out."
