Your Creative Map
A one-page map for your creative project. Print it, fill it in, and bring it to every Maker Party.
- One page, one project. Start a new map for each thing you make.
- Ten boxes in three parts: you, your work, and who it’s for.
- Each Maker Party convo helps you fill in a different box.
- Print a new one as your project grows. Keep the old ones to see how far you’ve come.
