I wanted to expound on the idea/theme of the "Global community of Makers".The gears represent the communities of makers around the world, and how they all work together to help Make the world a better place.  The placement and density of the gears was generated from a NASA image of lights on the earth at night. I used this light  map to approximate where the highest density of Makers are located.
