your tools to improve yourself and the world
around you.’”
— Zenon Evans, reason.com
43. “I see the Maker Movement and these
types of Maker Faires as being important
for fostering innovation. The result is that
more and more people create products
instead of only consuming them, and it’s
my view that moving people from being
only consumers to creators is critical to
America’s future.”
— Tim Bajarin, TIME

— Joan Voight, Ad Week
111. “The World Maker Faire is clearly the
successor to The World’s Fair out of
the sheer will and force of the Maker
Movement. The vendors and exhibits
range from the garage startup to the
corporate monolith. This relationship

reliance on one another, both
culturally and economically.”
