Every week (seriously, every single Tuesday), I make new videos showcasing unique project builds, using a ton of different materials. Barb Makes Things is my YouTube channel where I share these videos, along with How Tos and other maker-related topics. I'm a maker educator who works with kids, so I am really good at identifying the best way to teach something.

Tools and materials can be expensive, not to mention the time that goes into making a new project video every week. I want to share a lot of different media and projects, tips and tricks, and feature some of the amazing makers on the planet right now. Sponsorship helps me afford to keep doing this regularly.

Some of my upcoming goals are to upgrade my recording equipment, gain access to additional tools, make a second video each week, and collaborate with makers all over the world!

Patreon is a crowdfunding site, similar to Kickstarter or Indiegogo, but intended for backing regular content creators. You can sponsor me for as little as a dollar a month. Patreon also gives us a forum to interact, so I can share sneak peeks into upcoming projects, and you can let me know what you'd like to see.

You can send me a message, or visit Patreon's help center here.
