Chem 106 Maker Movement

The "maker movement" approaches a problem from first principles with a "do-it-yourself" attitude. This movement emphasizes an "active-learning" environment where "learning by doing" is the first approach to problem solving. Activities are not always driven by need, but instead by a general interest in exploring a particular area of interest. The maker movement can be applied to a variety of disciplines:
