Will.i.am, if you didn’t know, is the founder of The Black Eyed Peas, and a noted technophile. He has been behind a number of initiatives to support education for kids, especially his i.am.angel foundation which started the i.am.STEAM program to support science, technology, engineering, arts and math education in under-served primary and middle schools. He also started i.am.scholarship to provide support to innovative students to complete their secondary education.
With all this in mind, it may not be so surprising that he recently made this remark on Facebook:
Every young person is going to be inspired to be a maker from now on. It’s like how everyone used to want to be a musician, an actor, an athlete — but a maker is what people are going to want to be.
We couldn’t agree more.
