Marketing Department Speaker Series
The Maker and Hackerspace Movement
Christopher Bodel, Jordan Bunker, Jim Burke, Kadi Sistak, Electromagnate
The Electromagnate team will be joining us to discuss a documentary they've been working on called "ReMade: The Rebirth of the Maker Movement." This film examines communities called "hackerspaces"—open laboratories where people with common interests can share knowledge and make things. For an example of a local hackerspace community, visit the folks at Pumping Station: One. The Electromagnate team will share their experiences making the documentary and interacting with those in the "maker movement." They will also discuss their impressions of the movement, which raises interesting new questions about marketplace innovation, consumer communities, and the sometimes fuzzy distinction between consumer and producer.
11:00am - 12:15pm, Jacobs Center Room 488/491
