MAKE founder Dale Dougherty on CNN

Here's a peek of a 30-minute profile of MAKE founder Dale Dougherty that will air on CNN this Sunday night.

Dale says, it's time to get back to making. It doesn't matter what it is: cheese, wine, sculptures, robots, rockets, 3D printers – even electric muffins! As simple or as bizarre as a person wants to get, Dale believes everyone should be passionate about making something. So Dale decided over a decade ago to create a grassroots festival called Maker Faire. There's one every year in the Bay Area, NYC, and all over the world. There's one in Africa. Tens of thousands of people attend, showing off all of the spectacular things they've made. Things like a basketball bikini, art sculptures made from car parts and wooden catapults, large and small. Simply, makers are enthusiasts, amateurs and hobbyists.

Dale also created MAKE magazine. The magazines are jam-packed with ideas and exact plans for making things. One issue might be dedicated to making robots, or rockets. Anyone with an interest can pick up a magazine and get right to work.
