The Trieste Mini Maker Faire Roundup

The Trieste Mini Maker Faire Roundup

If you couldn’t make it to Maker Faire Bay Area at the weekendโ€”perhaps because there was a big body of water in the wayโ€”maybe you made it out to theย Trieste Mini Maker Faire?

The faire, the very first Italian mini Maker Faire, was held on Saturdayโ€”the same weekend as the Bay Area Faireโ€”at the campus of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), and organized in collaboration with Immaginario Scientifico Science Centre in Trieste, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ICTP.

With over a hundred stands, showing off the creations of almost three hundred makers, by theย end of the day more than 6,000 visitors had comeย to see the show. Exhibits included aย mobile Fablab, aย small cinema-in-a-car, andย too manyย musical robots to count.
