A community-operated physical place where people can go to learn,

share, and work on their creations in a safe environment.

The maker community has evolved tremendously from the 1970s

hacker community.

Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Paul Allen

Origin of hacker

A person messing about with something in a positive sense, that is, using

playful cleverness to achieve a goal.
