Festival of Learning

Open Session Limited to 60 Participants (First-Come, First-In)

A Maker Faire session is a time where a variety of technologies and expertise exist to help you create something to take back to your classroom. You may drop by to learn more about them or sit down to build a project. Come on by - so much to learn!

Come and bring your ideas and your questions to have a conversation around 3D printing and it's application. There will also be a 3D printer and some project examples on display. Come one come all!
