MAKE Television: About MAKE Television Sponsors

Major Funding for Make: is provided by Geek Squad

With many "Makers" among its ranks and a passion for technology and innovation, Geek Squad and Make: are a natural fit. Since inception, Geek Squad has helped people get the most from their technology, and this sentiment is shared by the Make family.

Geek Squad and Make magazine have a history of supporting one another, beginning with Geek Squad sponsorship and participation in the first ever Maker Faire in April 2006. Geek Squad realized early on that the motley crew of "Makers" who created the "steampunk" aesthetic and built full-size versions of iconic board games had the same love of technology and innovation that inspired Geek Squad.

"From my perspective, it's no accident that the moon landing and Star Wars were followed by the first Apple Macintosh. When you make science and technology interesting, you spark innovation." said Geek Squad Founder and Chief Inspector Robert Stephens. "Geek Squad's support of Make: is our way of encouraging people to play, discover and create."

Geek Squad is the first national 24-hour technology support task force. Roughly 20,000 strong, Geek Squad technicians patrol Geek Squad precincts in all U.S. Best Buy stores, all Canadian Best Buy stores and at Geek Squad stand-alone store locations.
