If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done.
This is the Maker Manifesto
1. We will wait for no one.
2. We will make the things Africa needs.
3. We will see challenges as opportunities to invent.
4. We will be obsessed with improving things, whether just a little or a lot.
5. We will show the world how sexy African manufacturing can be.
6. We will hunt down new skills, unmask locally made materials, keep our work sustainable and kind to the environments in which we make.
7. We will share what we make, and help each other make what we share.
8. We will forge collaborations across our continent.
10. We will remake Africa with our own hands.
