Innovation From Around the World Gathers At Maker Faire Rome

Source: Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers

Maker Faire European Edition, the largest Maker Faire in Europe, will be happening again this year in Rome. Check out last year’s coverage for an idea of just how large this event is! While there are many local makers in attendance, an event this size pulls talented individuals from all over the planet.

Lets take a sneak peek at some of the globe trotting makers that will be in attendence at Maker Faire Rome, along with the summaries that they supplied when they submitted to the call for makers.

Vienna, Austria

Wunderwuzzi Robots

The Wunderwuzzi robots from Vienna, Austria provide an easy introduction to the exciting world of robotics for children and adolescents. Anyone can build their own little robot on the stand and take it home with them. With a small fee everyone can particitpate in so-called drop-in workshops you and sit down as soon as a place has become vacant.
The toothbrush robots specially developed for primary school children can be assembled without additional tools. This is made possible by the 3D printed housing, which works like a plug-in system. For the assembly no special previous knowledge is necessary.
The robots belong to the family of so-called vibrobots: a small vibration motor sets the robot in motion. As soon as a button-type battery is inserted into the 3D-printed housing, the robot flies over smooth surfaces, skilfully bypassing any obstacle.

3D Museum of Cultural Heritage

We have developed a teaching methodology in photogrammetry through Institutional Assets and Monuments, in alliance with The Arc/k Project, a nonprofit organization specialized in digitally preserve cultural heritage.
Over 50 trained volunteers in a half dozen Venezuelan cities are actively photographing objects of cultural significance every day. We have been generating 5-10 full 2-D and 3-D archives per week. Over 200 objects and structures from the 5 participating cultural institutions, and now the 50+ volunteers, is slowly becoming a massive 3D library.
We have produced 3D models of artworks at the University City of Caracas, world heritage by Unesco. This campus is considered a ‘Masterpiece ‘of architecture and urban planning, because of the integration of arts and architecture on a grand scale.
We are now working on the production of a 3D Museum of Cultural Heritage with the 3D archives produced.

London, UK

Avye Couloute

Avye is a 10-year-old coder. She started coding at 7. Most Saturdays she either attends a code group or is busy leading a Micro:bit workshop for Coder Dojo at Kingston University. Last November, she won the ‘best working device’ for the Micro:bit 1st Birthday Challenge & her robot was exhibited at the Bett Show in January. In February, she was selected to be part of 12 young coders for a Young Coders Conference at the Tate Modern – where she collaboratively developed & delivered workshops to the public. Avye wants to become a visible a role model for young people in general, particularly for girls. She wants to inspire more girls to get into coding and to encourage more girl involvement in tech. This April, she led a workshop at the Coder Dojo Girls only event at the Institute of Imagination. At the end of April Avye won the hardware category at the Coolest Project UK with her voice command robot – Voice O’ tronik Bot. She is motivated to create other opportunities to encourage more girl participation in tech. She recently reached her crowdfunding campaign target to fund a Girls Into Coding event that she has planned for July 8th 2018. The event is free, delivering three exciting workshops, where the girls will be able to explore coding and physical computing using the Raspberry Pi & the BBC Micro:bit (tiny computers). The event has already been over-subscribed & she is already brainstorming ideas for a follow-up event.
