How to Get Started Making

First, you may be thinking, ‘what the heck is a Maker?’ Simply put, a Maker is anyone who creates from scratch, whether you use wood, wool, or wires. At Intel we often incorporate all three. Watch the video to hear what inspires Makers.

Not a programming wizard? Don’t worry. It's easier than you think to start making with Intel technology, kits, beginner projects, and how-to video tutorials. 

What you need:

  • A computer.
  • A development board. The Arduino 101* board is great for newbies.
  • A kit with sensors, connectors, and hardware for your first project or experiment. Otherwise, your new board is just a cool paperweight.
  • An idea. Find inspiration and Intel®-based projects on Instructables or Hackster.io.

What’s a Development Board?

A development board is a set of circuits you can program from your computer to do specific jobs. For example, the Arduino 101* board is plugged into your computer via a USB cord, and it's equipped with the Intel® Curie™ module, which has embedded sensors that make it perfect for building wearable technology.
