Maker Economics: Can You Actually Make Money Making Things?

Have you ever wondered how makers actually make money?

Generator Makerspace is continuing their Methods & Means Event Series, and this time they're trying something new. Instead of individual presentations, they're pulling together makers, artists, and creative entrepreneurs for an open discussion about the economics of making.

Whether someone creates full-time, on the side, or purely for the love of it, there’s a story there. The goal of this event is to try and bring these stories into the open so we can all learn something.

As always, this event is FREE and open to the whole community.
