Make: The risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things (the t-shirt, help pick one, get one free)…

Last week during the inauguration “makers” were mentioned by name – we received hundreds of emails, tweets & IMs asking us if we heard that (and if our new president was a MAKE subscriber). Here’s part of the quote…

Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things – some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

A few makers and even our own team suggested we do something to celebrate “makers” in the speech as we kick off the next four years of our nation’s journey. So here’s what we have and we also need your help.

We are going to give away 100 t-shirts with this quote, or part of the quote to the next 100 new MAKE subscribers. They’re not for sale and this is going to be “limited edition” as they say. Just go to makezine.com/subscribe and enter code CHANGE. You’ll get a year of MAKE, celebrating science, engineering, how-tos, projects and makers – and if you use this code you’ll get a shirt.

But there are 3 shirts right now, one design has a couple different colors – the other design is more of the quote. So, here’s how we’re going to figure this out. First, subscribe to MAKE with the code, next up VOTE – we’ve set up a poll (below the shirts) – vote on which one you like the best and in a week or so we’ll announce which one it is and if there are any left we’ll post up the link / code again. Anyone can vote, that will help us decide, if you subscribe because of this offer, post up a comment and let us know which one you voted for too.

Oh! If you’re a current subscriber, don’t worry — you’ll be able to log in to your MAKE digital edition and get a shirt at a nice discounted price too! Stay tuned for more info on that. We will attribute the president for the quote on all 3 designs.
