Name: Nick Sawyer Wired

Media Outlet: Wired

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 29 July

Query:

WIRED magazine is currently working on the pilot episode of a
new web series featuring makers of cool and amazing things!

We are looking for inventors, engineers, fabricators,
programmers, roboticist, electronics experts, and more! If you
make amazing stuff that can do cool things, we want to hear from
you.

Please note: we are looking for people who build things with a
physical component that can be stress-tested and demonstrated.
We LOVE physical builds that incorporate a computer programming
element, but programming along will not meet the needs of this
series.

In regards to the show we'd like to make - the sky is really the
limit at this point! We are looking to cast someone who is
deeply knowledgeable in the maker/modding and DIY spaces and
work with them to come up with an idea for a project based on
their particular skills, expertise, and interests.

Some initial show ideas that we'd be interested in exploring
would be things like modifying tech gadgets to do something
unexpected -- like a roomba that asks for help when it bumps
into things. Or figuring out how to recreate tech seen in
Movies, TV and pop culture. Another avenue could be taking the
newest gadgets on the market and stress testing their features
to find their limits.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, please get in touch!

our production values and aesthetic:
