The Wall Street Journal had a fantastic article on November 13 (“Tinkering Makes Comeback Amid Crisis”) about physical computing, hackerspaces and the national return to “tinkering.” It stresses the maker movement’s creativity and its potential for national renewal.
This mainstream investigation of a difficult-to-summarize trend is very exciting for us at HacDC. Please also see Mike Musgrove’s April article in the Washington Post entitled “Where Tinkerers Take Control of Technology.”
We welcome you to attend our gatherings and events in order to see what all the buzz is about!
