Wabash Valley Maker’s Fest S.T.E.A.M. Conference

Posted on April 25, 2017 by Rachel

What a terrific day! I love when I get a chance to work with my beloved middle school kids or lead a STEM activity, and this amazing event gave me a chance to do both!

Does it Have to Be Diet? Investigating the Diet Coke and Mentos geyser phenomenon
DIY Smartphone Projector – Does It Work?
Stop the Mad Engineer – A BreakoutEDU Experience

You’ll want to keep your eyes open for the Maker’s Fest next spring. If they repeat it, you won’t want to miss it. This year’s event included astronaut David Wolf, a weather balloon launch (one of my favorite things ever), drones, 3D printers, and tons of other great activities and sessions. So terrific. Huge thank you to Chad LeDune for letting me be part of it!
