2.1 Focusing on the main ideas

The maker movement is now gaining ground in China and makerspaces like

Xinchejian and Seeed Studio are open to the public. A maker is someone who

builds, creates or hacks physical materials. They are different from the traditional

inventors who tinkered in garages. Makers often use software to design objects to

be produced by desktop machines like 3-D printers. And they often cooperate and

share their ideas online. The Chinese government is supporting this movement by

building more government-supported innovation houses and organizing maker

carnivals. And it is hoped that this movement can help Chinese industry move to a

new stage. Although some observers see China’s maker movement as producing

copycat goods, Mr. Pan Hao, founder of Seeed Studio, advises patience.
