Make

A new do-it-yourself movement comprised of inventors, artists, "geeks," musicians and everyday people, is taking the world by storm. These creatively inclined individuals — known as Makers — produce new-fangled marvels by mixing and matching technologies. They spend their spare time bending circuits in their garages, welding steel in their basements, combing salvage yards, hacking obsolete machines and "upcycling" scavenged motor parts into fantastical musical instruments, techno-kinetic art and whimsical, Rube Goldberg contraptions (machines that use the most complex process possible to complete a simple task).

“Make” taps into the energy of the Makers movement. Each half-hour features stories of creativity and innovation, of Makers and their projects, accompanied by practical how-to guides designed to inspire viewers. “Make” highlights examples of ingenuity, celebrating the talents of those marrying technology with imagination.
