The purpose of this project is to facilitate a Maker summit that will serve as a catalyst to establish networks and communication channels amongst different stakeholders in the Maker community. Makers are a quickly growing community of innovators who embody characteristics such as ingenuity, creativity, and propensity toward lifelong learning; all of which are important for the Engineer of 2020. During the first-ever White House Maker Faire in June 2014, President Barack Obama petitioned mayors, federal agencies, educational institutions, companies, foundations, libraries and museums to support Makers. Encouraged by the potential impact Makers can have on innovation in the United States, many of those who were petitioned responded with tangible commitments to assist in the advancement of the Maker Movement. This proposed Maker summit will bring stakeholders together for the purpose of generating knowledge that all participants can utilize to strengthen the role of Makers in advancing the creation of innovative products. The proposed one-and-a-half day summit will take place in the Washington, DC metro area in Fall 2015.The Maker Summit provides leaders of the Maker Movement a unique opportunity to convene and share ideas and best practices. The summit will draw approximately thirty participants from five different sectors: informal learning in museum/library settings; making/hacking in community spaces; university maker spaces; engineering and science researchers who engage making; and education researchers who engage in making. Attendees from these communities will be afforded opportunities to forge connections with each other across different segments of the Maker Movement; envision the future of Making for the engineering and education communities; and identify how Maker spaces can be designed to foster inclusiveness and broaden participation. The summit will include Makers from communities as diverse as major museums and educational institutions to small nonprofit organizations and local libraries. These various groups will connect and learn from each other, generating the potential to enhance the STEM knowledge and of the U.S. citizenry. Opportunities to join forces and collaborate will be afforded to all attendees, who will both share and discover how to maximize the potential of the Maker movement in their sectors and local areas. Furthermore, the best practices that will be disseminated at the Summit (and beyond) - will benefit Makers on a global scale.

该项目的目的是促进创客峰会，作为催化剂，在创客社区的不同利益相关者之间建立网络和沟通渠道。创客是一个快速增长的创新者群体，他们体现了独创性、创造力和终身学习的倾向；所有这些对于2020年的工程师来说都很重要。在2014年6月举行的首届白宫创客大会上，奥巴马总统向市长、联邦机构、教育机构、公司、基金会、图书馆和博物馆请愿，支持创客。受到创客对美国创新的潜在影响的鼓舞，许多被请愿者做出了切实的承诺，以帮助推动创客运动。这次提议的创客峰会将把利益相关者聚集在一起，目的是产生所有参与者都可以利用的知识，以加强创客在推动创新产品创造中的作用。这次为期一天半的峰会将于2015年秋季在华盛顿特区举行。创客峰会为创客运动的领导者提供了一个独特的机会，让他们聚集在一起，分享想法和最佳实践。首脑会议将吸引来自五个不同部门的大约30名与会者：博物馆/图书馆环境中的非正式学习；社区空间中的制作/黑客；大学创客空间；从事制造的工程和科学研究人员；以及教育研究人员，他们致力于制作。来自这些社区的与会者将有机会在创客运动的不同领域相互建立联系；展望工程及教育界的未来；并确定如何设计创客空间以促进包容性和扩大参与。峰会将包括来自各社区的创客，从大型博物馆和教育机构到小型非营利组织和地方图书馆。这些不同的团体将相互联系并相互学习，从而产生增强STEM知识和美国公民的潜力。所有与会者都将有机会携手合作，分享和发现如何在各自领域和当地最大限度地发挥创客运动的潜力。此外，将在峰会上（及以后）传播的最佳实践将使全球范围内的创客受益。
