“...I have subscribed to Make for years, I can’t remember not reading it for the inspiration it provides. Last year I attended Maker Faire NY for the first time. It was an experience without equal...When I saw the opportunity for Make membership I knew that it was for me. You are thanking those of us that are members. I am thanking you for allowing me to help, to be a part of something so great...”

“I am interested in the projects and love the idea of a community of makers.”

“I like the idea of being self reliant by making things.”

“Maker was recommended to me by a friend who is a member and a young creative Chemical Engineer. I've worked in manufacturing for over 30 years. My work has been directly related to Problem Solving, encompassing Design, Prototyping and always Learning New Skills. Becoming a member of a creative organization whose mission is promoting education and knowledge was the next step for me.”

“I am interested in learning and creating things. I love learning and enjoy tinkering in my spare time. I worked for many years in the manufacturing industry and have returned to school to study computer science. I'd like to combine my experiences and see where it leads.”

“I enjoy electronics and building things. I am retired, but now teach engineering at a small private college. I am surprised how few of my students are "makers". I am using my experience with Make: to encourage that. I think I should support the 'movement' with this membership.”

“Wanted to find a community where it's easy to learn, and find people at all skill levels.”
