===Bricolage=== {{Main|Do it yourself}} [[Bricolage]] and DIY are some of the terms describing the building, [[wikt:modification|modifying]], or [[repair]]ing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals. Academic research has described DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage [[Raw material|raw]] and semi-raw materials and parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g., landscaping)".<ref>Wolf & McQuitty (2011). "Understanding the Do-It-Yourself Consumer: DIY Motivation and Outcomes". ''Academy of Marketing Science Review''</ref> DIY [[behavior]] can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as [[market economy|marketplace]] motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and [[identity (social science)|identity]] enhancement ([[Workmanship|craftsmanship]], empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).<ref>Wolf & McQuitty (2011)</ref> They could involve [[craft]]s that require particular skills and knowledge of [[Skilled worker|skilled work]]. Typical interests enjoyed by the [[maker culture]] include engineering-oriented pursuits such as [[home improvement]], [[electronics]], [[robotics]], [[3D printing|3-D printing]], and the use of [[Numerical control|Computer Numeric Control]] tools, as well as more traditional activities such as [[metalworking]], [[woodworking]], and, mainly, its predecessor, traditional [[Handicraft|arts and crafts]]. The subculture stresses a cut-and-paste approach to standardized hobbyist [[technologies]], and encourages cookbook re-use of designs published on websites and maker-oriented publications.<ref>{{Cite news |title=On State Street, "Maker" Movement Arrives |url=http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/make_haven/id_46594 |date=April 30, 2012 |author=Thomas MacMillan |work=New Haven Independent}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://startupeuropeclub.eu/makers-upv-making-locally-winning-globally/|title=Makers UPV: making locally, winning globally {{!}} Startup Europe|website=startupeuropeclub.eu|access-date=2016-08-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821050314/http://startupeuropeclub.eu/makers-upv-making-locally-winning-globally/|archive-date=2016-08-21|url-status=dead}}</ref> There is a strong focus on using and learning practical skills and applying them to reference designs.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Invent To Learn|last=Martinez|first=Sylvia|publisher=Constructing Modern Knowledge|year=2013|isbn=978-0-9891511-0-8|location=Torrance, CA|pages=32β35}}</ref> There is also growing work on [[Hackerspace#Equity and justice-centered making|equity and the maker culture]].
