This is a lovely TED talk by Dale Dougherty discussing the innate desire to make things he thinks is within us all. He shows lots of people doing stuff just because they can, they're enthusiasts and they like doing it.
What is interesting to me is what he sees as the importance of the social aspect of it all. That by going to events and meeting with other makers they show what they have made, share knowledge and go on to produce more and better things.
The enthusiasm they have and their ability to produce amazing things using low-tech solutions is something that would be great to see within more of my students!
