THE ORIGIN STORY
|
|
Before “Maker” Was a Term
Twenty years ago, Dale Dougherty had a simple but radical idea: what if the people building ridiculous and brilliant things in their garages, basements, and backyards could all meet in one place?
“Make: wasn’t just a magazine. It was the spark that lit the fuse — the proof that a whole world of makers was out there, waiting to find each other.”
— Dale Dougherty, Founder of Make:
That first Maker Faire in San Mateo drew tens of thousands curious souls. It sparked a global movement, hundreds of faires on every continent, millions of people who now proudly call themselves makers. And it all started with a magazine that dared to take DIY seriously.
We're celebrating 20 years of Maker Faire Bay Area, and we're bringing the celebrations to you wherever you make.
