Question

【题目】 Have you ever had a problem you couldn’t solve? Maybe you went to the store to look for a solution, but came home empty-handed. More and more, when the situation happens, people are creating their own device(设备) as the solution. It’s all part of the Maker Movement (创客运动)—make up of thousands of wise people who make and fix things, rather than buy them in stores. For makers, making some things by themselves is often cheaper and more satisfying than simply buy them in stores.

Thanks to technology, it’s easier than ever to turn a thought into reality. Many makers use the tools just in different ways. For example, Arduino is popular with makers. This open-source mini controller is used to develop all kinds of electronic devices.

Another key piece of technology for maker is 3D printers. You can even use a 3D printer to build your own 3D printer! The usage of these technologies inspires people to be creative. It is clear that Maker Festivals are more and more popular. People come together to experiment (做实验) in the area of art, science, engineering and technology.

What will be helpful for you to become a maker? You need to be creative and willing to play around with some new technologies. You should also want to share your ideas with others. Perhaps most importantly, you can’t be afraid of failure. Innovator (创新者) hardly gets success on the first try. Be wise, be creative, be cooperative (合作) and have fun!
