Master Maker Capstone
📋 What it is
A real project combines the design process, materials, electronics and fabrication into one working creation.
🗣️ Coach says
A finished maker project uses everything at once: the design loop guides it, the right materials build it, circuits and code bring it to life, and fabrication makes it solid. Bringing all the skills together is what makes a real creation.
🧠 Memory hook
A real project = design loop + materials + circuits + fabrication, together.

It was very driven!
😲 Whoa!
The most impressive maker projects — a robot, a musical instrument, a gadget — almost always combine several different skills at once.
✅ Quick check: Why does a complete maker project usually need several different skills together?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Because a real creation combines the design process, material choice, electronics/code, and fabrication — each skill handles a different part of making it work.
Combining the skills into one project is the capstone of making.
