Sometimes, your creative ideas and hobbies-to-explore seem so far-fetched that you can’t even find a place to start. The Maker Mode is a platform that provides resources for you to start exploring these areas, through blog-like posts by authors who’ve done it before. Being a “maker” means more than you might think it does: if you’ve ever wanted to finish a novel, prototype a robot, design a sculpture, impact an organization, code an app, perform scientific research - basically, if you’ve ever wanted to make a difference in your community or just make something you’ll be proud of, you’re the kind of maker we’re here to help. Our posts are meant to be casual and intimate, and our projects are something akin to “DIY”s - but instead of “life hacks,” we’re doing real hacks.
