month, a handful of folks from the Wayne College 3D Lab and the Schantz Maker Space traveled to Michigan for the Detroit Maker Faire.\u00a0 I have been to \u201cmini\u201d maker faires before, but this was a full fledged faire with over 20,000 people in attendance!\u00a0 Words can\u2019t explain how huge, fascinating, weird, welcoming, and passionate this event was.\u00a0 It\u2019s the perfect place for kids, adults, entrepreneurs, inventors, hobbyists, tinkerers &#8212; really everyone, a perfect place to explore and be amazed by so many inventions.<\/p>\n<p>If words can\u2019t express the heart of a maker faire, perhaps these photos will!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6367\"

Bring something you want to show and are passionate about or be a volunteer.\u00a0 It will be an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back at the Wayne College, Leslie brought her family to the 3D Lab to create a decal for their boat.\u00a0 Not just the single-color vinyl decals that we usually make, but a large, three-color design!\u00a0 We learned a lot about Corel DRAW that day, a vector art program perfect for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Will from Wayne College Tech Support designed the original artwork.\u00a0 We then separated the artwork from the lettering so that the vinyl cutter could cut shapes into three separate colors.\u00a0 Back at home, Leslie and her husband carefully applied the sticky vinyl in layers to create the final decal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

\u201cchuck glider\u201d summer camp finished last month with a lot of happy kids and colorful, flying gliders!\u00a0 They learned how to user a laser engraver to cut their planes from foam board,
