the PPLD Library 21c (the one by Chapel Hills Mall) is hosting a "Maker Fair" this Saturday, October 10, from 10 am to 4 pm to give some insight on STEM-related stuff.  So, if you're interested in the technology-related merit badges, like Robotics, Programming, or Digital Technology merit badges, this event may make you want to pursue those options.  For more info, go to http://coloradospringsmakerfaire.com
