\u00a0 \u00a0I believe that we can expect that the community would create innovative ways to teach young makers. \u00a0 I believe the community would help inspire a deeper culture of creativity. \u00a0 \u00a0It really would be fun to find out. \u00a0The bounds are endless!<\/p>\n<p>To help the community connect to each other, our blog will be hosting a Middle Georgia Makers community. \u00a0 If you&#8217;re a creative entrepreneur, artist, or technology professional, please consider joining our FaceBook group. \u00a0 \u00a0We want to foster a supportive community of creative professionals who are interested in improving their craft, their business, and &#8220;making&#8221; Middle Georgia awesome.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1454258828152058\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Join the Middle Georgia Makers Community<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>By joining the Middle Georgia Makers Facebook group this week, I will offer a free online webinar on social media marketing. \u00a0In this mini-class, I will share why &#8220;educational direct response marketing&#8221; is important to your cause and business, tools that help you build your platform, and connect you with other free resources.<\/p>\n<p>Look forward to getting to know you!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xH8r7flfIm4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So&#8230; What are you passionate about making?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\"><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Related Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #555555;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"Benefits of Teaching Kids To Code That No One Is Talking About\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=623\">Benefits of Teaching Kids To Code That No One Is Talking About<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"7 Reasons Why The Makers Movement Is Revolutionary\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=942\">7 Reasons Why The Makers Movement Is Revolutionary<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"How to Build Your Mobile App using HTML\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=849\">How to Build Your Mobile App using HTML<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"Maker Camp: Free Virtual Summer Camp for Teens\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=961\">Maker Camp: Free Virtual Summer Camp For Teens<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"5 Resources To Help You Teach Kids Programming\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=689\">5 Resources To Help You Teach Kids Programming<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #0085cf;\" title=\"5 reasons to love Khan academy for computer science\" href=\"http:\/\/inspiredtoeducate.net\/inspiredtoeducate\/?p=202\">5 reasons to love Khan academy for computer science<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Photo credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maltman23\/7283448284\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maltman23\/7283448284\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Finspiredtoeducate.net%2Finspiredtoeducate%2Fjoin-the-middle-georgia-makers-community%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middle Georgia Makers Community Our Vision To build a collaborative community of artisans, entrepreneurs and technology professionals known\u00a0for grassroots innovation, creativity, leadership and our passion to serve.
