What a great opportunity! Thank you, Mike, Matt and Christine (UNCG) for including us in your invite to the Charlotte Maker Faire this past Saturday, 10/10. Rainy, wet weather didn't stop Julie, (EHS), Karie, (SEMS) and myself from traveling to the Discovery Place in downtown Charlotte to enjoy the sites and sounds and learning opportunities going on at the Charlotte Maker Faire.
We spent some time playing/helping at the UNCG table. Little Bits, Green Screen, 3D Printer, Makey-Makey were the major offerings and boy were they hits!
We saw so many type of 3D Printers, met so many representatives from area Makerspaces, and came away with some wonderful maker ideas, the light up pumpkin, the led light/popsicle stick flashlight, the Cat5 wire jewelry. It was pretty overwhelming! Karie and I have been invited to support a table at NCTIES 2016 and this gave us some ideas. Burlington's having a Maker Faire in March. Perhaps we'll gather some more ideas!
