About Maker Portal
Maker Portal is intended for innovators interested in real-world solutions to complex problems in science, engineering, and technology. Resources include: engineering consulting services, physical products, mobile applications, software development, e-learning, and blog-style articles. The maker-based approach is explored using articles, technical publications, and experiments in topics ranging from Raspberry Pi, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, data analysis, robotics, Arduino, 3D printing, sensor design, Python programming, and more. Open-source software is at the core of our services and projects, which allows for replication of experiments and designs. Services and articles can also include software and hardware design, upon request. Our mission is to develop and implement applications in engineering through rapid prototyping at the intermediate level, without the requirement of colossal resources.
Consulting and Services
Company Values
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
STEM is the cornerstone of Maker Portal’s mission. The dissolution of information regarding the science and proximal fields is what drives all the products and projects carried out here. The unification of STEM and open-source tools have a huge impact on the work done at Maker Portal. This is why accessibility, repeatability, and discovery are at the cornerstone of our mission.
Education
The second foundation of Maker Portal is education. Education is at the core of every tutorial, publication, and resource provided on our site. Exploration, design, testing, and implementation all start with learning a skill related to science, engineering, computer programming, and other STEM disciplines.
Collaboration
The third value central to Maker Portal is collaboration. We value the work and opinion of others, which is why our blog has a consistent record of referencing previous and contemporary works in the field. Collaboration also manifests itself in the form of engineering consultation, where we have consulted and worked with companies and individuals on a wide range of projects. Our collaborative ventures have also penetrated the markets of product testing, hardware and software development, and advertising.
