Makerpad - Quick note from the founder

Hey! It's Ben (founder of Makerpad) with a quick note.

I'm so thankful so many of you are supporting Makerpad. We're just about to reach our 5000th (!!!) member. Our challenges were a huge hit but I think they're missing something, so we're trying a different approach:

We're launching Build Club - 14-day rolling cohorts building projects alongside one another. You can:

  • Use the list of how to come up with ideas
  • Show your work-in-progress and get feedback
  • Post your finished project in Show & Tell
  • Re-join any future cohorts so you can build as often as you like!

First cohort kicks off Jan 4th - click to join →

The best way to learn is by building. This is a low-pressure, always-on approach to building with your peers. We're also building a virtual world in which you can hang out in rooms to learn, connect and build with each other - but that's a secret project that's work-in-progress.

Hope you've all had a great holiday season and have a happy new year!

Cheers,

Ben

Also, I wrote a little post about what we've accomplished this year, which you can read here if you'd like.
