The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device.

With TV shows like America’s Greatest Maker, Shark Tank, Beyond the Tank, and other shows focused on new inventions and products the Entrepreneurial Maker spirit is gaining momentum in popular culture.
Someday (hopefully soon) this can lead to another industrial revolution…
We are eagerly awaiting the day when there is a 3D printer in every home, so when you buy a product it is just downloaded to your printer and instead of having to wait for your product to ship in a couple days, you just have to wait a couple hours for your product to print itself out on your 3D printer.
As it stands now anyone can learn how to create their own products using Electronic kits like Arduino, 3D printers at a much lower cost than in the past.
Our goal at Maker Authority is to help grow this movement and encourage entrepreneurship so we can all benefit from the creativity of a variety of individuals and grow small businesses.
We want to provide resources to make it as easy as possible for anyone who has an interest in becoming a maker to succeed.
