MN2020: Open-Source Learning

To"hack" is to deconstruct, figure out, and reinvent. The term has spawned a world-wide movement of engineers, programmers and hacker clubs dedicated to open-source learning and reinvention; sharing everything from wood-shop basics, to circuitry, to software. A central principal to the maker movement is keeping data and ideas open and accessible.
Engineers and economists see the potential for both product development and job creation.
Local engineer and Minnesota 2020 Fellow Salman Mitha visited TC Maker in Minneapolis to explore the possible public policy implications for investing in the movement.
