#nerdgasm: THE Geek Fest 2013
Posted By Desiree Kane on Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 10:10 AM
Do 3D printers and flying robots appeal to you? What about science? If yes, then you're going to love the CPCC's Computer Technology Institute's 10th Annual "THE Geek Fest" Technology and Innovations event at CPCC's Levine Campus beginning today. If not, then this probably ain't your kind of geeky crowd.
From their website:
THE Geek Festival (TGF) is an exciting and eclectic annual celebration of the "geek" in all of us - an event designed to educate, energize and inspire the minds of our students and the community through highlighting the constant creative innovations in technology, media and industry. It not only recognizes the imaginative efforts made by individuals and companies in their respective fields but also provides a venue through which we can explore the technologies that have become so integral in our everyday lives as well as those that are new and foreign. Geek is chic; not only that, it is everywhere.Best of all, it's FREE.99, and it's all day today!
Shameless plug: Come see me, your trusty Creative Loafing tech columnist, speak at 12:15 p.m. on a panel called The Social Network: Social Media Trends and Best Practices!
