How kids are getting into DIY tech: Chips with Everything podcast

The other day, a friend told Jordan Erica Webber that her tech-savvy dad has used the Raspberry Pi – a small and very cheap computer – to build all sorts of creative projects.

This kind of tech-based extension of DIY culture covers things like 3D printing and robotics, involving learning how to make physical things yourself. Many view it as a movement against consumerism, a way to avoid just being a passive user of tech, with all that entails. But it's not just people who work in tech who are participating in maker culture.
