DIY and enthusiasm for the future is the young man in the middle of the photo--not the yellow machine in the foreground.

Technology is only a tool.  Some mistake it for the essence, but they are wrong.  People are the essence.  We are the change agents—not our tools.  The only thing I would change about the DIY movement is the name.  Instead of “Do It Yourself” the name should more accurately be “Do It Ourselves” DIO.  We so rarely do anything without help and assistance from others.  The current DIY movement with its makerspaces is as much a social event as anything else—a coming together of people united by a diversity of purposes and tools (not one tool, but many and not all of them are digital—but all are aimed at creating a better world. 

DIY is not a new concept.  It’s a concept that has been at the heart of the American experience for several hundred years.  Many American pioneers would have gone naked had they not embraced the DIY concept.  Several hundred years ago we would see looms by the hearths of many American homes.  Not only did the lady of the house make the clothes for her family, she often wove the fabric from sheep she raised.  No doubt in the future the lady of the house will make some of the clothing for her family using a 3-D printer.  It’s still the same basic concept of the home as a makerspace where people create stuff they actually need instead of consuming stuff that marketers tell them they need.

Reflections on My Visit to the Dallas Makerspace

If you visit, you'll see the magic of the Dallas Makerspace is neither the space nor the tools—although the tools are many and fabulous.  The people are the magic happening at the Dallas Makerspace—the people who share their knowledge and expertise with others.  And it’s also the people who come there to learn because the pupil always adds to wisdom of the teacher by bringing new possibilities with them from their own unique life experience—possibilities the teacher is not even able to dream of.  The teacher/pupil relationship is mutually beneficial.

The Resurrection of DIY is forefront on the American scene.

It’s no accident. The need for DIY arose like a phoenix in October of 2008 when those elected to serve us sold our very economy to wealthy financiers and bankers so they could continue to gamble on global markets sustained by slave labor with no concern for the environment.  However, it has taken Americans a few years to fully realize to the extent we and most people in the world have been sold out by the few.  Now and at least for the past three years I think that most of us on Main Street are beginning to realize the extent of the theft that occurred almost seven years ago.  Most of us realize that no real hope will be forthcoming at a national or even at a state level.  Thus the DIY quest continues to mushroom.

Meet DIY Salman Khan who founded a multimillion dollar nonprofit Kahn Academy--a free school.  Now we have DIY education.

Of course we’ve always had DIY education for years with our great libraries, but Kahn Academy has put Internet education on steroids.  Their mission is to provide a free, world-class education on the Internet for anyone, anywhere.  According to its founder “. . . most people are held back not by their innate ability, but by their mindset. They think intelligence is fixed, but it isn’t. Your brain is like a muscle. The more you use it and struggle, the more it grows.”

New research shows we can take control of our ability to learn. We can all become better learners. We just need to build our brains in the right way.

Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. Students can tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. Kahn Academy has also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

This spring, Stanford Consulting - a nonprofit, student-run organization - ran a survey to learn about the impact that Khan Academy has had on the educations of current college students. These students were asked whether they “found Khan Academy meaningful to their education” and whether they were the first in their family to go to college. The results are in, and today we’re excited to share some of the key findings.

Of the students who responded to the survey…

- 65% of Stanford students found KA meaningful to their education (out of 504 surveyed)
- 57% of students in other top schools* found KA meaningful to their education (out of 159 surveyed)
- 64% of first-generation college students (the first in their family to go to college) at these schools found KA meaningful to their education (out of 164 surveyed)

______________________________________________________________

This morning I watched a taped interview from April on Overhead with Evan Smith on KERA.  The program was devoted to an interview with Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy.

Watch it and you’ll like it.  Very interesting.  Very hopeful for the future.  Very powerful.  You’ll find out why they have 15 million registered users.  Who knows?  Perhaps, like me, you’ll become one too.

By the way, Mr. Khan is not suggesting the Internet learning experience replace the real world experience of the teacher and the pupil.  He is suggesting that it be used to enhance the learning experience.

FAB the Library!

The digital revolution is here.  We are now in the times of an exciting technological shift—not unlike 1981 when IBM introduced the personal computer to the world.  And, now as then, we can hear echoes similar to what we heard in 1981:  “Why would anyone want a personal computer?  What real practical use are they anyway? blah blah blah”

We hear the same babble today regarding digital fabrication—the ability to program in the physical world—not just the virtual world—the ability to use computer programming/software to create and manufacture products, objects, even food that we can eat.  In the future, factories will be downsized to local institutions such as libraries and even to bedrooms and offices in our homes.  That’s right.  We will make a lot of the stuff we use today and the stuff we can’t make at home we will make in community centers.  That’s the future.  The global sweatshops and factories may become things of the past.  This technological shift has some real implications for local.  Our cities will become much more self-sufficient.  This technological shift has some real implications for permaculture principles and learning from nature’s designs.  Many of the materials used to make our “stuff” of the future will be from recycled materials—even plastics.

Cities, like Barcelona, are already preparing for the future by establishing FabLabs all over their city.  Even though digital fabrication had its birthplace back in the 1980s at MIT, this technology seems to be more deeply rooted and making faster advances now in Europe than here in the USA.

Almost daily now, literature, such as Makerspaces in Libraries, is rolling off the shelves of bookstores to help us move this revolution along.  We will get there fast.

________________________________________

Although disappointed this book written by Theresa Willingham and Jeroen de Boer isn’t available now, I’m happy to see that “Makerspaces in Libraries” will arrive on August 16, 2015.  This is just the shot in the arm that our libraries need to pull them into the forefront of the 21^st century as places where people come to learn.  

Our libraries will now have a social aspect that has been missing from their stacks and rows of books from day one.  Remember those days of “Shhhhhhhh, quiet please?”  Until recently, learning and acquiring knowledge has been more or less an isolated, solitary, individual pursuit and not a social experience.

Now, however, all that is changing.  Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent, and learn--together. Learning is now a social event, a collaborative effort.  If someone is looking for an investment—they might consider creating a FABLAB space.  I’m sure our future will be filled with them all over our communities—not just our libraries.

Makerspaces are becoming increasingly popular in both public and academic libraries as a new way to engage patrons and add value to traditional library services. Some libraries now have 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools, and more.  I know that at least one school library in Garland, Texas (Watson Tech) that has a maker space. And the reports I get all tell me this space is incredibly popular with the students.

This book promises to show us how to create a makerspace within the library though a step-by-step process. From planning the innovation center to hosting hack-a-thons, guest lectures, and social events in our new lab, Makerspaces in Libraries promises to provide detailed guidance and best practices for creating an enduring, community driven space for all to enjoy and from which both staff and patrons will benefit.

The information in this book may also serve anyone interested in creating a Maker Space in any setting not just a library.  Highlights and best practices include: 

1. budgeting and business planning for a librarymakerspace,
2. creating operational documents,
3. tools and resources overviews,
4. national and international case studies,
5. becoming familiar with 3D printers through practical printing projects (seed bombs),
6. how to get started with Arduino (illuminate your library with a LED ambient mood light),
7. how to host a FIRST Robotics Team at the library,
8. how to develop hands-on engagement for senior makers (Squishy Circuits), and
9. how to host a Hackathon and build a coding community.

From one of the authors of this book, Theresa Willingham:

“The process of writing Makerspaces in Libraries with Jeroen De Boer, of Frysklab in the Netherlands, was exciting and reassuring.  The time is clearly ripe now, for libraries to take their rightful place at the heart of our communities as 21st century centers of skills and knowledge development.  Makerspaces are central to the revitalization of libraries, and thriving communities. For maximum sustainability and measurable impact,though, those spaces need to be developed intelligently and thoughtfully, from the ground up in a way that leverages the interest and support of all stakeholders.

Makerspaces in Libraries draws on the best practices of progressive libraries and practiced leadership from all over the world, including my own experience in makerspace development, to chart a path that helps libraries explore maker culture, understand and develop staff capabilities, evaluate community needs and preferences, understand volunteer capacity and collaborative possibilities to help ensure long term program sustainability and growth. Libraries hold the key to an empowered future for all of us and I'm honored to share here some valuable tools for helping librarians open the door to that future.”

Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures microcontroller -based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world.

3.  Attend a Maker Faire.  Meet the people who are already putting the concept of digital fabrication in action.  See some of the things they have made.

DETROIT MAKER FAIRE JULY 25 AND 26
 http://www.makerfairedetroit.com 

The 2015 Maker Manual is now online. You can find a copy here.  Read it to better understand what you will be able to see at the faire.  All makers are responsible for reading this document and being familiar with its contents. Be sure to carefully review the new Maker Check-In information, as there are changes for 2015.

Detroit is about 17 hours away from the DFW area.  This is one of the large Maker Faires in the USA.  This one will be especially informative as visitors can also see the role that permaculture principles and urban agriculture are playing out in the recovery of the local economy.

TULSA MINI MAKER FAIR AUGUST 29

http://makerfairetulsa.com/call-for-makers

This event will showcase 150 makers. The 2015 Tulsa Mini Maker Faire offers the opportunity for us to see ourselves as more than consumers; we are productive; we are creative.  Everyone is a maker and our world is what we make it. 

Tulsa is a little more manageable as a drive from the DFW area than Detroit. (271 miles—about 4 hours and 28 minutes)

MORE ON FOURTH OF JULY INDEPENDENCE FOR AMERICANS

Maker Faire is an event created by Make magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset".

Make Magazine assists independent event organizers in producing small-scale Maker Faire events in local communities. The Magazine calls independently-organized events "Mini Maker Faires." Community-driven Mini Maker Faires have sprouted up around the United States. Maker Faires are a groundswell of the people's response to the lack of solutions forthcoming from leadership of corporations and local government who seem to still be so enamored with global markets offered by Wall Street  they can't see the opportunities right where they live.

Make Magazine is the first magazine devoted entirely to Do-It-Yourself  (DIY) projects.  It unites, inspires and informs a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements and garages.  Make celebrates your right to make, bend, tweak, hack any technology to your will.

A BIG MAKER FAIRE IS COMING UP IN A FEW WEEKS IN DETROIT

Maker Faire Detroit returns to The Henry Ford for its 6th year on July 25-26 with a new location for the outdoor midway, new projects on display and more than 70 new makers debuting in Detroit for the first time.

The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2014 celebrated its ninth annual show with some 1100 makers and 130,000 people in attendance. (Note:  the San Mateo Maker Faire for 2015 is over.  It was held on May 16 and 17.)  World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 80,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Orlando, Silver Spring, Paris, Rome, Oslo, Trondheim, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of larger-scale, “featured” Maker Faires and over 120 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world. 

Maker Faires are a groundswell of the people's response to the lack of responsiveness and imagination from large, sluggish, bureaucratic multinational corporations who lost their ability to respond to current needs of people and the environment decades ago and are now dragging our economy down into the tarpit with them.

Let's stop stupid once and for all when it comes to retail development!

I've suggested at various times and to various people that we need to establish some laws to protect citizens from poor planning by the leadership of communities that ultimately result in urban sprawl--eventual eyesores that are environmentally unsound and even dangerous spaces which deteriorate for years on our urban landscape.  Frankly, it may not be until we make it too expensive for some people to stop persisting in stupid before they will stop.

Again, I know it's difficult to predict trends and that is where 1) insurance or some type of law may be in order to protect the general public from situations such as urban blight--buildings sitting empty for years while those who own them get to use them for tax write offs and the public gets an eyesore--hardly a fair exchange by any standard.

And 2) We need better, more ecologically  sound designs and design considerations from the builders and developers. For example, any commercial building constructed today with an asphalt or concrete parking area should not be allowed. Environmental remediation of such construction is cost prohibitive. We've known that for at least 30 years. It's time to apply that knowledge.

We need to stop retail sprawl.

Saturated retail markets bring deterioration and decay. It's all so predictable.

Think about it: Sprawl rarely brings about a net increase in economic growth. Instead of real growth, there is simply displacement of economic activity. This triggers a whole cycle of deterioration in older communities.  Did you ever wonder what happened to South Garland, for example?  You can chalk it up to retail sprawl.

To put this in another local perspective, we don't have a growth in retail business at Firewheel. What we have is a displacement of economic activity from Collin Creek Mall and the shopping center at Plano Road/Beltline and perhaps other shopping centers in the area.

We need to be paying more attention to 1) Job training and education 2) job creation 3) creating new and real markets 4) increasing the potential offered by plant-based raw materials, in other words, actually creating new products--not introducing the same chain stores into a different area.

__________________________________________________________________________

ADDENDUM JULY 2, 2015

CURRENT "RETAIL DEVELOPMENT" IN THE USA FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS HAS BEEN LITTLE MORE THAN SHUFFLING DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC OF LOCAL ECONOMIES

Perhaps another appropriate analogy might be "putting a different shade of lipstick on the same pig."  When a new retail center opens within a few miles of another one, what happens is predictable:  One by one most of the chain stores in the older center will move to the new, bright shiny "different" retail center and close their doors in the older center.  I've observed it locally many times.  For example, it was only a few months after Firewheel Shopping Center opened its Barnes and Noble that the one located in the older mall at the corner of Plano Road and Beltline closed its doors and the deterioration of that retail center began in earnest.  Today that older center is a shell of its former self.  If you have lived in Garland for at least 10 years, you know this is true.  

Also "what is good" or "what makes business sense" for globally based businesses is often not in sync for what is good for local economies.

There are many things that can change this situation but the over all solution is a focus on L-O-C-A-L.  Main Street needs to lessen its dependence on big box chains and develop local businesses that are truly new and are designed to serve the local population--not a global market.  it is also important to the economic stability of the local economy that these businesses be locally held.  This is the only way to successfully anchor a local economy.  I've been preaching this for 15 years as have other people, but I'm not sure the message has gotten across to the leadership of communities.

URBAN AGRICULTURE IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO STIMULATE A LOCAL ECONOMY--perhaps the only sustainable way.

Where many small local businesses fail is in trying to imitate the big box chains and/or in aiming to grow into one.  Urban agriculture can become a huge local force within communities.  By selecting the appropriate crops to grow within the local urban environment, people can create their own raw materials for creating products. The best types of products are 1) those that are consumed (thus the need to purchase again)  2) those that are considered "essential"  and 3) those made from raw materials obtained locally.  Nothing fits the bill better for this than agricultural products.

Walkable Main Street - Garland Texas

This is not a plan to add to the urban retail sprawl.  If we are not careful, urban development will become just another example of shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic of our local economy.  We will make the full circle of retail development and the big chains will abandon the suburbs and return home to our downtown areas.

Walkable Main Street- Garland Texas is a different type of development.  Within this existing mixed-use area of retail/commercial/vacant lots it proposes an urban farm of about three acres, clusters of smaller homes that are designed to be aesthetically appealing and yet affordable, makerspaces that encourage development of creative new products and new ways of doing things, support for industrial/commercial businesses already in the area, connectivity of this entire area (including the existing industrial/commercial businesses) to downtown Garland and its businesses and urban residents.

Walkable Main Street is indeed, a new way to structure the local economy in the direction of success for everyone.
