3D printing, robots of all kinds
and shapes, educational projects, and electronic boards designed
for various tasks are some of the creations born from the
creativity of makers that will be on display in Trieste on
Saturday, August 31, and Sunday, September 1, during the 11th
edition of Maker Faire Trieste, the festival of ingenuity,
creativity, science, and technology. The event was presented
today and is promoted by the Municipality of Trieste and the
Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, with
the support of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.
In Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, the organizers will showcase
120 projects involving over 400 makers from different regions
and countries, such as Slovenia, Croatia, and Germany. It will
be "an international gathering of imagination and creativity,"
emphasized the event's organizer, Carlo Fonda. It's a journey
into technology and research to discover inventions and projects
while learning in the maker way—having fun, exploring, playing,
and experimenting. The fair also includes the Science Picnic, an
interactive science section featuring meetings with researchers,
experiments, and performances.
"The synergy between the Municipality and ICTP," underlined
Trieste's mayor, Roberto Dipiazza, "has brought citizens closer
to the world of science through a joyful event over the years.
We have engaged citizens and tourists in awareness paths that
stimulate ingenuity and creativity."
"At this fair," said ICTP Director Atish Dabholkar, "everyone
can look to the future of science and technology, which is
generated by this science for the benefit of all humanity, with
a spirit of openness, curiosity, and sharing. But these are also
the principles of all makers, who will gather to share with
everyone the creative inventions and projects realized with
great passion."
