Maker Club - Getting Started

Welcome to the first-ever Maker Club at AIS Budapest. We'd like to let you know about some important "big ideas" regarding Maker Club:

  • It's about making, being creative, exploring and having fun
  • You're going to have a lot of freedom to make what interests you.  It's important to find something you really want to make and that you find interesting.
  • There's a lot you will not understand or know how to do. That's okay since it's about figuring things out and problem solving.
  • You will figure out how to do things using online tutorials, videos, Google searches, talking to people, etc.
  • Things will not be perfect, especially in the beginning. Your ideas and what you make will improve as you keep working on them.
  • Being persistent and not giving up easily is very important to your success.
  • Making mistakes is part of the learning process. If you are not making mistakes you are probably not doing anything very challenging.
  • Having said that, you do not want to make mistakes when it comes to safety. You will be shown how to use tools in a safe manner. You are required to use safety equipment like safety glasses when required. You need to ask for help if something seems unsafe or if you are not sure about some safety issue.

 Don't forget to bring in your signed waiver form to the next meeting.

You will want to start exploring ideas for something you want to make. You can get ideas from the following sites:
