hello
0:03
hello 0 hello
0:12
I give you a virtual high five all the way around hi everybody
0:17
what do you guys done here so I
0:23
gotta love coming to this crowd I’m at I never to spend the evening playing with
0:29
some Arduino stuff
0:30
I see like I had I want to start by telling you a story about my hat this is
0:39
this is a a replica a
0:42
harrison ford’s hat from Raiders lost art yes
0:47
what are the most important movies ever came out when I was 13 years old
0:50
changed my life gave me a new direction the kinda action hero I fell in love
0:55
with
0:56
I’m and the same thing happen to a guy named Mark kidder
0:59
marketer was a phantom Raiders
1:02
and he wanted a hat that was exactly like Harrison Ford’s hat from raiders
1:07
any certain to look at screen grabs and he became very knowledgeable about
1:12
how precisely that hat was made any started to notice something that no one
1:16
else had figured out
1:17
was that he noticed that the hat from raiders was actually a different hat
1:22
and cut in a different way than all the other hats for the other two movies
1:26
specifically to bring was cut differently it seemed to
1:29
shape differently on Harrison Ford’s had and marketer tried to find someone who
1:34
would make him
1:35
a hat that was this accurate and he couldn’t do it so
1:41
he taught himself military
1:45
hat making in order to make a perfect Raiders of the Lost Ark at
1:49
now gets better he started a little company with a partner called the
1:54
adventure bill Hat Company
1:55
these are the makers of my hat the eventual Hat Company makes
1:59
about 40 to 50 hats a year the cost hundreds of bucks
2:04
they’re totally worth every penny they’re made of the finest be
2:07
I felt that you can buy they have a kangaroo hide brim they’re made
2:11
precisely exactly the same in every possible way
2:15
to the original Raiders of the Lost Ark at there is nothing more accurate it
2:19
gets better than that
2:20
when Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went into production
2:25
they put out a request for proposal to hat makers all over the world
2:29
to provide hats for the new Raiders of the Lost Ark fell
2:33
and Mark karen is little company got the contract
2:37
so he went from fanboy all the way to the provider of the definitive
2:43
have the defended the Raiders of the Lost Ark at yeah
2:47
the now it gets better than that even
2:54
just for me personally which is that I war one of his early hats on the show we
2:58
did a Raiders lost art
3:00
a myth with their motorcycle flipping and
3:03
so I wore my Raiders costume and I had an mark wrote to me and he said
3:08
you know I notice you want whenever early has not quite accurate one is send
3:11
me your measurements and really really happy measure my head both in the
3:14
morning in the evening is apparently your head size changes
3:17
and he custom made me this
3:20
this beautiful hat I’m now the story continues because the
3:24
the person who did the customs to rate in Lost Ark actually turns out to be
3:28
a friend of mine I didn’t know this my friend John Landis
3:32
his wife Deborah Dorman she did the customs for Raiders
3:35
so she was the one responsible for the weird cut of harrison ford’s had so I
3:40
saw her last year
3:42
in San Diego at comic-con and I told her the story
3:45
and I showed her the hat and she looked at the hat
3:49
and I you know I watched her that the customer who have chosen this look for
3:53
Harrison Ford she picked it up
3:54
she looked at it she punched a doubt she creased it she put it on my head and she
3:59
looked at me and she said
4:00
ICU I love that moment
4:06
so I want to talk about why we make
4:12
things are amazing here we got fifty thousand some-odd people here at Maker
4:16
Faire
4:17
there’s a movement afoot a ten years ago
4:21
if you’re in engineering school you could almost get a degree without ever
4:25
having to build anything
4:27
but we are shifting back people are getting their hands dirty or
4:32
now sometimes it feels like it’s too late budgets cut
4:35
budget cuts are taking away all the frivolous the quote-unquote
4:39
frivolous things in the high schools like the drama club in the music
4:42
department and especially the shop class its
4:45
yet we have Maker Faire here we have Maker Faires all over the country Dean
4:49
caimans first Robotics Competition
4:52
yeah it’s 50,000 students
4:56
around the world 2000 teams building robots
5:00
two things are happening simultaneously one is that we are seeing a generational
5:04
shift back to making
5:07
Maker Faire in Mythbusters and all the other people involved with this movement
5:11
have written this wave
5:13
concurrently with each other the second is that it really seems like the shift
5:17
away from making
5:18
was more massive than anybody realized we have a long way to go
5:23
we have to keep getting kids interested in making things and getting their hands
5:26
dirty
5:27
and putting them getting them into their world
5:32
but I’m not gonna talk about how I’m gonna talk about sorry I’m not going to
5:36
talk about how we are all part of the house right here
5:39
I wanted to talk about why so
5:42
a few months ago I was talking with someone about how to get kids interested
5:46
in making things and
5:50
we were talking about what is the impetus that gets people interested in
5:54
building something for themselves
5:56
you know toys are cheaper now than they ever were before and they’re smarter and
6:00
they do more things in
6:01
the toy industry so many toys do what they call play themselves you actually
6:05
turn them on and you just watch them in a toy does all the work for you
6:10
and we’re talking about what that impetus is and I sent this guy to
6:14
to a link at a forum I frequent where people make and collect movie props
6:20
the replica prop for and one of the big things that people are doing on the
6:24
replica pop form right now is everyone’s making
6:26
Iron Man armor everyone wants to be Iron Man
6:30
but Iron Man armor Iron Man armor costs a lot of money
6:34
for a full set a fiberglass Iron Man armor you could spend between three and
6:37
eight thousand dollars I don’t know because I kinda del
6:42
however you can take a 3d file love Iron Man in his armor
6:46
and you can run through a program called pepper cora and you can build it
6:50
yourself and i said im this link up this kid in the Philippines
6:53
who had painstakingly built this paper model Iron Man armor which then painted
6:58
with the pox
6:58
resin coated with bondo and fiberglass and sanded smooth until he could wear a
7:03
full set up Iron Man armor
7:05
it took hundreds of hours have his work
7:09
II here Tesla coil spinning out
7:12
100 hours at work and I sent this like any said wow it is so the long way
7:16
around
7:17
which is true it is a long way around and then he said
7:21
it be really great to get them to build their own things rather than
7:26
the things that pop culture feeds them
7:29
I your way to second on that clapping
7:34
I’m I had a kind of a visceral response that comment has
7:37
I felt a little bad I am exactly these people like me
7:41
I’m making two different sets of Iron Man armor right now
7:48
yes you know
7:51
is there a difference I’m not sure that dichotomy between making your own things
7:56
and things pop culture feeds you is in fact
7:58
a real dichotomy I don’t think those two things are different
8:01
I’ve spent my whole life bouncing between those two poles
8:05
I’ve made hundreds of sculptures devices robots furniture clothing
8:10
for me and the people that I love and for jobs and for a living and to pay my
8:13
rent
8:14
I’ve also built my own r2 d2 from scratch
8:21
anybody want to test it dot com in the last few days I’ve been talking about
8:24
the CF London from The Fifth Element which have been working on for ten years
8:31
what are the coolest things I ever built was one of the earliest
8:35
I I built a spaceship in my mom’s closet
8:39
I was working on a super 8 science fiction film with the Carol Bartz carro
8:44
twins who live down the street
8:46
I I think I was maybe 11 or 12 I found a couple a refrigerator boxes
8:50
and I made a spaceship which is I just put up walls and I painted control
8:54
panels on this
8:56
you know the central console and I made a window with the star field behind and
9:00
we filmed
9:01
this super 8 film and when we’re done with that I asked my mom
9:05
if I could put it in the old bedroom closet cuz my parents had moved their
9:07
bedroom
9:08
and she said yes I so I installed the
9:12
the the the console i cud actually pieces out a bit I put paper
9:16
under those pieces I drew radar screens and I drew proximity sensors and I put
9:21
lights underneath so my cock pit was actually under let
9:23
iPad a window that was separated five feet away
9:27
from the back wall and then I painted the whole back wall black
9:30
and I painted stars on it then I put Christmas lights underneath so I could
9:34
sit in the seat
9:35
had feel like I was in a spaceship why was I doing this
9:39
because I wanna be Han Solo and I want my own a.m. Falcon
9:49
i sat on that thing for hours but maybe not
9:53
hours but sitting in that cockpit and looking at the start feeling thinking
9:59
about having my own Millennium Falcon cockpit gave me
10:02
and unrivaled feeling of joy
10:06
what more could I want to the universe at that moment to have that chip
10:10
and the have the support of my parents to be able to go to the hardware store
10:13
and by the lights and lamps and pieces that I needed to put it together
10:16
they gave me access to their charge counter the hard wrister from the time I
10:19
was 11 on
10:22
I next thing I dot was actually took the same technology cardboard
10:25
acetate batteries and I booked it onto a briefcase
10:29
again with switches and radar sensors and screen brought real radar sensors
10:33
sharpy look says radar sensor I
10:37
and I made a James Bond briefcase well could have been James Bond briefcase
10:40
orkut awesome in Mission Impossible briefcase
10:42
at any rate there was a switch that said blow that up an eID present pretended
10:46
things blew up
10:48
her I never knew that would happen for real
10:54
when I was 12 or 13 I had worked with cardboard enough
10:57
that this idea came into my head fully formed
11:00
I thought I want to make a man out of cardboard
11:04
I wanna make a guy who sits on our front porch I don’t know why
11:07
I just played with cardboard enough that I realize this is something I wanted to
11:12
see and I saw his structure really clearly in my head
11:15
and I took all the scarred wofford Redbox’s I had and I started cutting
11:18
them into
11:19
long square long rectangular tubes for the lexan babbling them in
11:23
taping them together with masking tape I the chest
11:27
the head I painted him with a blue suit on
11:30
I’m gonna actually put a picture this up on our website on Tesla dot com in the
11:34
next couple days you can see it
11:36
up but while I was making this thing while I was putting it together
11:41
and this is the first thing I had built like really this is the first thing I
11:44
had built
11:45
that wasn’t from a movie there was it from anything it just came right into my
11:49
head
11:49
and I remember specifically thats walking into
11:53
the kitchen halfway to the project house style good
11:57
feeling so good in my heart I went in and I said to my mom
12:01
I was like 11 mom right now
12:05
on August 13 19
12:08
eighty wonder what every year was I said I am truly happy
12:15
and the thing is is that I there’s something really specific in the feeling
12:20
a feeling that kind of happiness was that
12:22
it wasn’t just that I thought really happy was actually that I knew it was a
12:25
temporal state that it wouldn’t last but that I was experiencing something
12:29
that every artist in the world feels this deep connection to the thing that
12:33
they’re producing to the thing that they’re making connecting them to their
12:36
world making them feel super
12:38
totally genuinely present
12:43
a few years later I left home in hours living in New York City and my parents
12:47
you know would let me use the hardware store charge account
12:49
now let me use my dads charge account at new york’s central art supply
12:53
and I started making sculpture really seriously in New York
12:56
I made stops are based on the same things that I was doing when I made the
13:00
spaceship I made
13:01
telephones that look like they were out a blade runner things that book
13:04
half organic half mechanical I love cyborgs
13:08
alien Star Wars all these movies in for my sculpture
13:12
guns I made lots of weird-looking call futuristic guns
13:16
and I had a girlfriend at the time who’ll would get into arguments with me
13:20
occasionally about
13:21
why I was making things that were so violent
13:24
my sculpture had a violence to it it had a a malevolence
13:28
she thought now it wasn’t really like a fight we had she was a philosophy major
13:32
from tops
13:33
so she does like to get into it just to get into it but
13:37
it was an interesting discussion because I was surprised at my stance
13:40
on it well I’m standing on nothing but wire screen this doesn’t bode well
13:46
I sorry my stance
13:49
with her when she said why do you make things that are so violent as I said
13:53
your question presupposes that I have a choice
13:58
I don’t think that I do I’m making the things I feel like I have to make
14:03
and I don’t get to choose what I feel like I have to make
14:11
even that age I understood that I was tapping into something call it
14:16
collective unconscious whenever you like i knew i wasn’t just making things
14:20
out of them in the Boyd I was having a conversation
14:24
I was having a conversation with the world around me the world that informs
14:27
me that shaped me that help me understand the kinda person that I
14:30
wanted to be
14:31
I was talking to my culture it’s a real conversation
14:36
and it happens way under the level %uh normal person to person conversation
14:41
and notice I said culture not pop culture now
14:44
the whole dichotomy between culture pop culture was raised a long time ago and
14:47
better and smarter people than me I’ve written about it so I’m not going to
14:50
waste a lot of time on it here
14:52
it is a false dichotomy I bill and participated in the building amazing
14:57
things from scratch again
14:58
robots galleries theatres sets props furniture
15:02
but the love the objects themselves this child’s desire
15:07
for the impossible toys scene in the movie scene in my head
15:10
and wanting to make it flash make it something that I had and I held
15:15
and that made my day better because it existed
15:20
that what about those things and the teaching myself how to make things in
15:24
order to have those things
15:26
is the engine I’ve everything that I have achieved in my whole life up till
15:30
now
15:33
so I hope this as a kind of a manifesto
15:37
it doesn’t matter what you make and it doesn’t matter why
15:41
the importance is that you are making something
15:54
when you make something the world becomes a little more parts support
15:57
becomes a little more understandable to you
15:59
you become part of a conversation when you make things that you can’t not make
16:03
that conversation goes really deep and meet other people who are making the
16:07
same things they can’t not make
16:08
and these people become your friends your confidence in your teachers in your
16:11
mentors
16:12
I truly believe that I also believe when you making
16:16
when you’re making the thing that you go through the process the problem solving
16:20
the shaping your future with your hands it’s inherently good and positive
16:25
conversation
16:26
it makes you into a critical thinker
16:30
everything that I’ve ever learned making things has universally applied to
16:35
everything else
16:36
that I do a Obama I
16:40
has made a key part of his administration’s goal
16:43
to push forward the stem initiative science technology engineering and math
16:47
yeah
16:49
and Jamie and I have been honored and lucky enough that he is tapped us to
16:55
help him spread this message
16:56
and we are helping in every way that we can but there’s a movement afoot
17:01
but says well first voss damn it’s just a terrible name
17:04
it’s a terrible name it doesn’t it doesn’t give anything it’s not sexy
17:08
there’s a movement afoot to abt one letter to stem and make its steam
17:12
that letter is a and it stands for art science technology engineering
17:24
art and mathematics are is where
17:27
the kids art is the original mover
17:33
so I say make but more than that make what you want it starts with what
17:39
you want to have when you want to learn something
17:44
you’ll make it better everyone I get asked a lot how do I learn how to weld
17:48
how do I learn how to do electronic some advice is always the same choose a
17:51
project
17:52
doctors read about what should which do you think is going to work better learn
17:55
about electronics reading a book about it putting together some zener diodes in
17:59
and resistors and LED’s or building your own fully operational tricorder from
18:04
Star Trek
18:05
when you have a final goal whatever that goal
18:12
is you are more likely to finish you’re more likely to get through that point in
18:17
every project
18:18
when the thing you’re building is kicking your butt and making you really
18:22
mad because you’re failing
18:24
that final goal carry you pass that I have this mechanism and I know it after
18:29
all these years making things
18:30
somewhere around seventy percent in working on any given
18:34
difficult project I’m working on I lose steam I get frustrated with myself I
18:39
wonder what the hell I’m thinking
18:40
II Pro clearly don’t know what I’m doing and I’m I’m going too fast from dawn to
18:44
slow or not going elegant enough
18:45
but I know that this occurs to me every time so I know that I can push past that
18:50
it’s different for everybody
18:52
because everybody is different what unites us
18:56
is that we are creatures up creation and we always have been
19:01
we need to keep those fires burning so I hereby grant you all permission
19:06
to make whatever it is you want whatever you have to make
19:10
make what you desire make what you have to make
19:15
make what you can’t not make because it will make the world a better place
19:20
thank you
