Maker kits
Maker culture is a contemporary subculture that extends DIY culture into technology, intersecting with hardware-oriented hacker culture and embracing both the creation of new devices and tinkering with existing ones. It supports open-source hardware and centres on interests such as electronics, robotics, 3-D printing, and computer numeric control tools, alongside traditional activities like metalworking, woodworking, and arts and crafts. What draws people in is learning-through-doing in a social environment, with informal, peer-led, shared learning motivated by fun and self-fulfillment. Source
