About

Nerds&Makers is a community of Nerds and Makers (duh). It is a place to showcase cool projects, to promote makers, to find inspiration, to teach, to learn and most importantly to connect with other makers and like-minded individuals. It's about the fearless passion of being a nerd, the overwhelming urge to create something with your hands, the fun of cosplay, the satisfaction of good code, the joy of comics, the love of movies. It's the intersection of nerd and maker culture. It's you.

Making is a pretty broad subject, and that's the point. Makers are those that see a need, and aren't satisfied in waiting for someone else to fill that need. It isn't just about making sawdust and using filament, it's about using your imagination, your hands and your mind to make something from nothing. It's programming, it's woodworking, it's prop building, it's music composition and an endless list of things that don't exist yet, and the brave individuals that won't let that stand in their way.

Being a nerd is also subjective. Do you collect comics? Do you role-play? Can you name every X-men? Congratulations, you're a nerd...in the classic definition, for some vague reason. Our definition is "fearless passion", a way of recognizing your intense love of something, and not letting the "rules" of society constraining you from displaying that. Wearing that obscure sci-fi character shirt, playing Dungeons & Dragons right there in school, camping in line for the latest Star Wars movie. Making the pilgrimage to San Diego Comic-Con. You say to the world "I love this and I'm not afraid to show it".
