American President also declared the day — June 18 — a National Day of Making, encouraging dreamers across the country to become Makers of things, not just consumers of things, and calling upon Americans in every corner of the nation to host programs and activities to mentor and empower a new generation of pioneers in design, manufacturing, and engineering.

We congratulate all of the Makers who participated in today’s White House Maker Faire. We can’t wait to see what you Make next America has always been a nation of tinkerers, inventors, and entrepreneurs. But in recent years, a growing number of Americans have gained access to technologies such as 3D printers, laser cutters, easy-to-use design software, and desktop machine tools. These tools are enabling more Americans to design and build almost anything.
