As soon as one opens Mark Hatch’s 2014 book, The Maker Movement Manifesto:Rules for Innovation in the New World of Crafters, Hackers, and Tinkerers, one is immediately floored by the enthusiasm and passion surrounding the idea of ‘Maker’. The Tech Shop, founded in 2006in Menlo Park, California, was established with its belief, “Making is fundamental of what it means to be human” (p.11), and its focus on bridging ‘creativity’ and ‘implementation’(Hatch, 2014; Lang, 2013).To some degree, Makerspace can be seen as an upgraded version of do-it-yourself, where high-end technology is offered to members, allowing them to experiment, experience trial-and-errors, and succeed/fail for free (or, as in Mark’s word, free innovation). It is laced with ‘part-time hobbyists’ who are driven to commercialize their invention. The Maker movement took off and has since become a cradle for developing new entrepreneurs. Such a sensational chain reaction provides dynamic platforms for economic growth.
