The rise of the maker culture is closely associated with the rise of hackerspaces, Fab Labs and other "makerspaces", of which there are now many around the world, including over 100 each in Germany and the United States.[10] Hackerspaces allow like-minded individuals to share ideas, tools, and skillsets.[11][12] Some notable hackerspaces which have been linked with the maker culture include Artisan's Asylum,[13] Dallas Makerspace[14], Noisebridge, NYC Resistor, Pumping Station: One, and TechShop.
