Hi,

My name is Kyla, and I'm a graduate student at VCU (Richmond, VA). I’m in the process of collecting information for a project I’m doing on the resurgence of the “Maker Movement.” Below is a link to an anonymous survey. I’d be so grateful if you could distribute this to TechShop Durham's e-mailing list and have as many people as possible complete it. It’s really quick and easy, and it’ll help me out a ton. I’m aiming for a couple hundred responses!

For some context, this project is for my consumer culture class. I’m trying to get to know more about people whose hobbies revolve around technology – from computers to electronics, and from hacking to tinkering. While I’m out in San Fran for a summer internship, I’ve been spending some time with the people over at the Noisebridge Hackerspace. They’ve given me some great material to work with, but this survey will help me get a broader idea of what’s going on in the rest of the country.

Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate you taking 5 minutes out of your day to complete it. The link is below:
