Free to Make: How the Maker Movement is Changing Our Schools, Our Jobs, and Our Minds | |
"Making is a new word for perhaps the oldest human endeavor—and there has never been a better time in history to be a maker than right now. Dale Dougherty is largely responsible for that. He proselytizes, he gathers makers together, and he shows us new roads, new landscapes, new philosophies of making. He prods us to new heights, and when all else fails, he keeps writing the best books on the subject. Dale is a maker's maker."—Adam Savage, cohost of Mythbusters
"Part manifesto, part guidebook, the book is a good primer for beginners and interested DIY types and might offer some new ideas for those already involved in the current boom of makerspaces in libraries, schools, and other community centers."—Booklist
"A wonderful analysis and celebration of what it means to be a maker and how important it is for our future."—Carl Bass, maker and CEO of Autodesk
“Every movement needs its founders and its storytellers. In Dale Dougherty, the Maker Movement has both. In Free to Make, Dougherty tells us about the history, people, and projects that animate this movement. Importantly, he shows us how making can change the education of our youth and even lead them to make a better world.”—Milton Chen, author of Education Nation; Senior Fellow, George Lucas Educational Foundation
“This deeply insightful book highlights the profound role that the Maker Movement is playing in catalyzing and shaping a new Big Shift that will transform our economy and society. We are transitioning from passive consumers to active makers, driven by a desire to learn and achieve greater impact, and in the process rediscovering our humanity. If you want to understand where we are headed as a global society and why this is such a promising direction, this compelling and exciting book is a must-read.”—John Hagel, founder and cochairman, Deloitte Center for the Edge
"Free to Make captures what it means to be human: to imagine, question, create, reflect, and try again. It's about making your own experiences matter and sharing them in ways that help make the world a changed place over time."—Mike Petrich and Karen Wilkinson, authors of The Art of Tinkering
“Free to Make is a comprehensive treatise on everything Maker. A leader of the Maker Movement since its inception, Dale Dougherty describes the roots of the movement and gives great examples of how it is changing lives and changing society. Free to Make answers the very important question: In today’s society, where we can buy anything, why make? A must-read for any maker or anyone interested in becoming one.”—Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel
This is a truly inspiring book by one of the great progenitors of the Maker Movement both here in USA and the world at large. Said most simply, we think with our hands as well as our heads—something we have forgotten in most of our current schooling. Free to Make provides a way to reach the many of us that find learning by sitting in a school room so boring. A sense of agency is the key to learning, and making things is a route to agency.—John Seely Brown, former chief scientist, Xerox Corp and former director of Xerox PARC; coauthor of A New Culture of Learning and The Power of Pull
"Free to Make is a profound and joyful journey through a movement that is at once historical and profoundly contemporary. Imbued with sixties’ sensibilities that give rise to creative acts of genius, whimsy, and passion, this book explores the ways in which the Maker Movement nurtures that irrepressible human desire to create and inspire others."—Margaret Honey, president and CEO of New York Hall of Science
Dale Dougherty is the founder and CEO of Maker Media Inc. in San Francisco. Maker Media produces Make: magazine, which launched in 2005, and the Maker Faire, which was held first in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006.

He was a cofounder of O’Reilly Media, where he was the first editor of their computing trade books, and developed GNN, the first commercial website, in 1993. He coined “Web 2.0” in 2003. Make started at O’Reilly Media and spun out as its own company in January 2013. In 2011 Dougherty was honored at the White House as a Champion of Change through an initiative that honors Americans who are “doing extraordinary things in their communities to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.” At the 2014 White House Maker Faire he was introduced by President Obama as an American innovator making significant contributions to the fields of education and business. He lives in Sebastopol, California, with his wife, Nancy.

I recommend this book to teachers, parents, young adults and adults. I found this book very inspirational and full of real life events and general examples. The author accomplishes what he intends: he makes making accessible and enticing! In addition, I found this book very prophetic in terms of how companies and jobs are and will evolve into.
Enjoyable reading
As a maker, formally educated engineer and person with a disability and associate of Philadelphia's hackerspace Hive76 and past author in Dale's Make Magazine I was extremely impressed with this first introduction to the social and educational side of the Maker Hobby.
While many books exist on specific technologies and such books as "Zero to Maker" Zero to Maker: Learn (Just Enough) to Make (Just About) Anything and "Maker Movement Manifesto" The Maker Movement Manifesto: Rules for Innovation in the New World of Crafters, Hackers, and Tinkerers exist to describe the process and technologies employed by Makers; no book length treatment until now has dealt with the philosophy, life stories and social condition of Makers. Dale and Ariane report in a easily read fashion on the Maker Movement phenomena, Makers social, educational and developmental conditions mostly in the US but with connections in a worldwide movement.
They outline stories of individuals such as Lisa Que (subsequently Que Federman) and Abe Federman who developed their own Maker device for sous vide cooking and monitoring out of classes in the Arduino microcontroller at the NYC Resistor hackerspace went on to develop a Kickstarter Project and afterward went on to found Nomiku the leading company in the sous vide coooker market. There are also stories of how makerspaces have transformed communities. I was most impressed and informed in spite of 5-7 years experience with the Maker Movement to learn of DIYAbility a New York-based Maker organization which both uses Maker skills to develop adaptive technology and enable differently enabled individuals to participate in the Maker Experience.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever considered making or fixing anything, those who seek to transform their communities and for the libraries of local Makerspaces.
Free To Make is examines both the history and current state of the Maker movement. There are quite a few books and periodicals that go into the more technical side of the hobby, but this is the first one I have seen that is aimed at those not already involved. So, if you have no idea what a "Maker" is this is the book to turn to.
Free To Make spends quite a bit of time diving into the big question about Makers. Why do they do it? In an age where practically everything we need comes pre-packaged and idiot-proof, what has sparked this sub-culture of do-it-yourselfers? There's no simple answe, of course, but asking the question is important and will give you some insight into the Maker philosophy.
Doughtery's writing style is relaxed and well-paced without spending too much time delving into technical details. Most of the chapters are fairly short, so it never gets to the point where it feels like it is dragging and the entire book is only around 300 pages, so it's the perfect size to read over a weekend. Once you finish, you will not only understand WHAT the Maker movement is, but perhaps more importantly WHY it is.
