“Engineering is just saying, ‘I’ve got a problem, and I’ve got all these techniques and tools in my head. We’re going to solve this problem together.’ Engineering is making solutions for people.”—Limor Fried

Today’s TechMAKER, Limor Fried, believes engineering is at its best when it’s collaborative. That’s why she founded Adafruit Industries, a top-20 U.S. manufacturing firm and global online community for sharing open source hardware and software. To date, Adafruit has sold over 1.4 million DIY kits for learners of all ages and skill-levels. 

Limor was the first-ever female engineer featured on the cover of Wired, back in 2011. To find out more about her, head on over to her profile on MAKERS.
