It was amazing. \u00a0\u00a0The kids loved shooting smoke rings into the air, shooting off paper rockets, building crafts at the STEAM truck, making glop, and seeing toys created by 3D printers. On Georgia Tech\u2019s beautiful campus, you could notice quadcopters and R\/C aircraft dancing in the sky. The boys LOVED all the robots. They especially enjoyed catching Frisbee\u2019s from the robots built by the FIRST robotics teams in Georgia. I was very impressed with the young people and mentors in the festival. \u00a0I think the festival inspired many future engineers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know that many of our readers\u00a0care about growing the next generation of creatives like I do. \u00a0 Hope to see you there with your friends and family<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>. \u00a0 It&#8217;s going to be a great time!<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/make-end.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more at\u00a0http:\/\/make-end.com\/<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never attended a maker festival, check the following links from Maker Faire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"storify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/storify.com\/michaelrosario\/beautiful-art-and-projects-at-makerfaire-2014\/embed?border=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"750\" frameborder=\"no\"><\/iframe><script src=\"\/\/storify.com\/michaelrosario\/beautiful-art-and-projects-at-makerfaire-2014.js?border=false\"><\/script><noscript>[<a href=\"\/\/storify.com\/michaelrosario\/beautiful-art-and-projects-at-makerfaire-2014\" target=\"_blank\">View the story &#8220;Beautiful Art and Projects at #MakerFaire 2014&#8221;
