How things turn out and how it can differ between what you make and how it turns out and what you need to change it,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Taylor Bankroff, a Purdue senior.<\/p>\n<p>The Toy-A-Fair is taking place Saturday in room 1130 of the Mechanical Engineering Building&#8217;s Gatewood Wing.<\/p>\n<p>Toys will be on display from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/news1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-212\" title=\"news\" src=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/news1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"313\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/news1.png 313w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/news1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/news1-250x146.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purdue students could have future as toymakers Updated: Friday, 09 Dec 2011, 10:03 PM EST Published : Friday, 09 Dec 2011, 5:19 PM EST WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
