Dear colleagues and friends,
ICTP,
in collaboration with the Trieste municipality, will
organise -on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 September- the
8th edition of the Trieste Maker Faire.
This renowned event will take place once
again in the main city square, piazza Unità d'Italia,
and will be the occasion for makers and scientist
alike to showcase their creations and
research to the public, during two half-days (opening
time: 2pm - 9 pm) packed with activities.
One area, the “Science Picnic”, will be
devoted to science outreach where hands-on activities
and demos will be appreciated by adults and kids.
while the “Space village" will focus on space
science and technology, in preparation for the NASA
Space Apps Challenge (hackathon) of October 3-4.
We
hope this will be an occasion for ICTP scientists and
fellows, together with many colleagues from the other
scientific institutions of Trieste,
to present their work to the public in a
festive and fascinating environment, and we renew our
invite to contact us for details on the participation.
