Cobb's very own Tanya Hyman (Durham Middle School) is one of the driving forces behind the Atlanta Maker Faire. Whether or not your have a Maker club at your school, the Atlanta Maker Faire's Making Education Conference is worth checking out. The conference will be held on Saturday, October 3rd from 9 am- 5 pm in the Performing Arts Center at Decatur High School in downtown Decatur. The cost is $25 unless registering a group of 10 or more. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about hands-on, "maker-" style learning in the classroom, plus a great chance to network with other educators in the metro area.
