Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue to for these \u201cmakers\u201d to show hobbies, experiments, projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height:

experiences. \u00a0We had a great time! \u00a0In this blog post, I wanted to share a few stories and projects we got to observe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>My little boy enjoyed learning how to cut styrofoam pieces using a hot wire cutter from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekspacegwinnett.org\/\">Geekspace Gwinnet<\/a>. \u00a0 Using this tool, makers can cut styrofoam to craft structures for cosplay and other projects. \u00a0 Geekspace did a great job presenting their work ranging from amazing robots, cosplay, and kids activities.<\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate the team from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekspacegwinnett.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Geekspace Gwinnet<\/a> sharing some of their experiences in growing and sustaining their makerspace and community too. \u00a0 \u00a0The conversation reminded me of the importance of growing, empowering, and serving our maker community.<\/p>\n<p><a
