TMS MAKER CULTURE SPACE
T
he Maker culture space refers to communities that gather in and around maker spaces, a concept offshoot of the early MIT Fab Lab movement. With their eye on realising tools for the 4IR pillars, these communities support skills development, prototyping and production using additive manufacturing, IoT, physical computing (robotics), and experimental code formats. We sat down with one of the creative geniuses behind these workshops, Mpho Makutu, to find out more about his role in solidifying this space and creating a ‘Maker culture’ way of thinking about innovation.
